jimmybutlerdagoat Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Hey All. Hope everybody is staying safe and healthy during this pandemic! Just thought I'd create a waiting thread with updates and support for those who are applying for the Marshall & Rhodes Scholarships this year. Marshall was due last week, and Rhodes next, but we should be hearing about both near the end of this month! Good luck to all who applied!
jimmybutlerdagoat Posted October 8, 2020 Author Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Anybody there? lol Edited October 8, 2020 by jimmybutlerdagoat
jemsl92 Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Hi, made an account just to reply to this. Strange no one else is here yet. I applied and am waiting on Marshall and Rhodes too. I recently heard that I didn’t advance to interview for the Mitchell scholarship so I’m not feeling too hopeful about Marshall or Rhodes lol.. but here I am anxiously waiting.
jimmybutlerdagoat Posted October 13, 2020 Author Posted October 13, 2020 Welcome @jemsl92 and I'm sorry to hear that! It's only one avenue to accomplish what you want though! I'm wishing you the best of luck with both of these! I made a slack for anybody who's interested in joining, it worked well for Fulbright when I applied in terms of updates: https://join.slack.com/t/marshallrhode-oj51176/shared_invite/zt-i6snpk2b-3wl9Z7iCrSjeNfEmb5xTbw jemsl92 1
miarose222 Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Hi! Awaiting news from Boston... deadline was earlier this year so we'll see. Hoping more people join this forum once decisions are released.
jemsl92 Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Any news for anyone yet? I know Marshall interviews start as early as November 4th depending on your district so I would think we’d hear soon.
vermillionfighter Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Nothing for Chicago (District 11) yet!
Kay1890 Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 I haven't heard yet either but I got an email yesterday from my fellowships advisor saying that some districts started notifying last week!

jemsl92 Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 It’s a no for me from Marshall Chicago District. I hope you all hear good news soon!
Kay1890 Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) It's a no for me from Chicago, too. Wishing everyone else good luck! Edited October 29, 2020 by Kay1890
Croc38 Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Anyone here from NY Region for Marshall? Still haven’t heard anything...
thatmeticulouschick Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Any Rhodes finalist notifications yet? do we know when those will be emailed?
Fingers Crossed! Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Houston notifications for Marshall are in! :)
primsus Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 How are you guys preparing for the virtual interviews? The Rhodes Trust is planning on having a virtual engagement event (with breakout rooms lol) to make up for the dinner...My Zoom anxiety levels have skyrocketed :c
Red_Ranger Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 @primsusMy university holds mocks - which are over zoom. But for the virtual engagement will be odd for sure. How do you know that is how they are organizing it (although it seems likely that's how they'll do it)? Did your advisor tell you?
primsus Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) @Red_Ranger Yeah my university does too, but I don't know it just seems so odd to be interviewed by such a large panel on Zoom lol so I'm trying to factor that into my preparation for the mocks... It's hard to find the right balance between preparing enough and over-preparing ? I know because I was shortlisted and it's what the email said Edited October 31, 2020 by primsus vermillionfighter 1
Red_Ranger Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) @primsus woohoo! congrats! Ya, that will be awkward. which district? Edited October 31, 2020 by Red_Ranger
primsus Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) @Red_RangerThank you ? I applied to a constituency outside the US!! Edited October 31, 2020 by primsus Red_Ranger 1

Looking at last year’s thread it looks like they notified from end of October to early November, so hopefully soon.

Yeah the last day they can notify us is Friday, Nov 6th (two weeks before interviews), so we should hear back sometime this week!
bostonian_student Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Any Marshall notifications from the Boston region yet?
jt229 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Any news from the NY region for the Marshall? My scholarship advisor said NY is usually one of the last districts to notify but this seems especially late considering interviews begin on the 9th.
foobars Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Has anyone heard from District 5 (Delaware, Maryland/DC) for the Rhodes?
