btermite Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Has anyone gotten word on finalists for either the Rhodes or the Marshall yet? I applied 2 years ago and got word for both Rhodes and Marshall finalist a bit under 3 weeks after submitting (so that would be this week). Didn't see any other threads dedicated to these, so I thought maybe people could post when they end up hearing! Edited October 15, 2019 by btermite orchestraldreamer and Anxious2020 1 1
Bader-Vader Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Applications this year closed Oct. 2nd or so. It’s my first year applying, and no word either way yet! Which is kind of crazy considering I might need to be half way accords the country in 4-5 weeks! Anyone else apply and are now anxiously waiting?
btermite Posted October 16, 2019 Author Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) Marshall handles booking all of your travel arrangements/pays for them all (including hotel if you need it). No worries there. For Rhodes, AirBnB could be a good option since, depending on the region, the interview could still be far away from home. Edited October 16, 2019 by btermite Bader-Vader 1
coffeeortea Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 I'm anxiously waiting for an update on the Marshall! I keep telling myself it's still early, but then I start to panic! Bader-Vader 1
irinprogress Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 I’m in Virginia and just heard from Marshall. It was a no for me, but hopefully some of you guys got happier news! Still nothing from Rhodes. Bader-Vader 1

My understanding is getting finalist for Marshall is quite a bit more difficult just based on the percentage that go to that stage. Stay positive for Rhodes! ‘Nothing yet for me on either, on the east coast for both. Bader-Vader 1
Bader-Vader Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Nothing for Houston district so far. This wait is brutal. btermite 1
coffeeortea Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Nothing for Los Angeles either. It really is brutal... Bader-Vader 1
eagerkat Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Nothing for New York either. Glad that I found other anxious people. Here's to hoping we find out soon (and most importantly, that it's good news)! coffeeortea, Bader-Vader and btermite 3
btermite Posted October 23, 2019 Author Posted October 23, 2019 Here we go for another day of email refreshing! Good luck y’all coffeeortea, Bader-Vader and eagerkat 3
btermite Posted October 23, 2019 Author Posted October 23, 2019 Another day of nothin for me Bader-Vader 1
coffeeortea Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Los Angeles just sent theirs out-- it's a no for me. Oh well! Good luck to everybody! Now time to wait anxiously on Gates Cambridge... Bader-Vader 1

btermite Posted October 24, 2019 Author Posted October 24, 2019 My understanding is basically no Rhodes committees have notified except 10. I was told this for Marshall: Expect Atlanta, LA, San Francisco and DC to notify this week. Boston, Chicago Houston and New York by the end of next week. Bader-Vader and eagerkat 2
eagerkat Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 This is helpful information! Thank you! How did you come by this?
Anxious2020 Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 NY Rhodes and still no word...halp. Does anyone know when they notified last year? I saw in another forum that in 2017 they found out on Thursday Oct 26 Bader-Vader 1
pecanpie2020 Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 NY-North Rhodes here - apparently 2018 they notified 10/29, 2017 was 10/31. For Marshall, 2018 was 10/26 and 2017 was 10/20. So we'll see what happens.
btermite Posted October 25, 2019 Author Posted October 25, 2019 No evidence for this whatsoever- but somehow I have convinced myself this is the day I get some news! Good luck on another day of anxiety! Bader-Vader and pecanpie2020 2
Anxious2020 Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Me too! Good luck all ? pecanpie2020 and Bader-Vader 2
Bader-Vader Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Anybody else notice that notifications for Marshall are dropping at about 5PM in the timezone of the relevant committee? No? Just my over-analyzing self? fair enough. haha Anxious2020 1
btermite Posted October 25, 2019 Author Posted October 25, 2019 I think I remember getting word kind of late in the day last time, like between 4-6 in the time zone of the region. Another day of nothing here. Bader-Vader 1
Bader-Vader Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Fair enough- another day of nothing for Houston as well. Here’s to a long weekend of waiting for Monday!

Unless you're overseas currently for another scholarship :( Marshall only pays if you're in the country! :( Bader-Vader 1
