I think the only thing keeping me sane is that It’s almost guaranteed we should know something by the end of this week! Anxious2020 1
Anxious2020 Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 *anxiety triples as it hits the 4-6pm block* thank goodness I have a test to study for tomorrow Bader-Vader 1

UK Time?
Anxious2020 Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 I’m just going off what has been previously said in other comments and from my experience with other things generally many things get sent out near the end of office hours. Also I applied Rhodes NYC south. No Marshall for me holographic universe 1

Same heart attack happened to me with Embark- if you’ve downloaded the pdf of your application it’ll mark that as “updated.” Edited October 28, 2019 by btermite

Oh well. Bader-Vader 1
btermite Posted October 28, 2019 Author Posted October 28, 2019 Not sure if anyone is in this region: but Marshall NY is notifying right now. Holding my breath. Anxious2020 1

pecanpie2020 Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Same here - how do you know? holographic universe 1
Bader-Vader Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 Another day of nothing from Houston I’m afraid. NY people: ??? Anything!? pecanpie2020 1

I've heard nothing, so either btermite was incorrect or they'll be sending rejections later in the week. It's getting pretty late in the day to be hearing anything anyway.

Maybe tomorrow. holographic universe and pecanpie2020 2

Oh yikes - do you know if they heard in the positive or negative? It's possible they're doing each in bulk on a single day.
pecanpie2020 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Spoke too soon - rejection here. Crossing my fingers for Rhodes later in the week.
magswag Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Marshall rejection here too in NY district. Sent just after midnight. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edited October 29, 2019 by magswag
holographic universe Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 yes it appears btermite saw the future, rejection came at 00:06 eastern standard time (which corresponds to the region my Marshall was in).
holographic universe Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Anyone else particularly disappointed about the Marshall rejection? Having applied for both the Rhodes and Marshall (and Knight-Hennessy), I thought my chances for the Marshall were orders of magnitude higher than with the Rhodes because of how much work the application required. The "no adviser" personal statement for the Rhodes, and the multiple short essays for the Marshall combined to make the Marshall much much more work. And so, my brain said I has a better chance ?

For Marshall, only 50% of applicants or so get an interview. Rhodes on the other hand, up to 80% do just depending on your district. Based on the numbers, getting a Marshall interview is actually, ironically, much harder than Rhodes. Also, just to satisfy my latent curiosity- does anyone want to upload a screenshot of their rejection email? I’m quite literally just curious what mine will look like. Lol. Sorry to all of you who did not make Marshall finals. To even make it this far means you are driven enough to do good in the world without it. Please remember that! PS: still nothing for Houston district. sources: Based on data found on the Rhodes and Marshall websites. Edited October 29, 2019 by Bader-Vader Anxious2020 and holographic universe 2
btermite Posted October 29, 2019 Author Posted October 29, 2019 Still nothing for me here on Rhodes. Bader-Vader 1
pecanpie2020 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Rhodes tends to be very end of October/beginning of November - I wouldn't be surprised if it comes on Thursday or Friday. Bader-Vader 1
