peterpan1127 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Just out of curiosity, does anyone know -- or have some sense as to -- whether classes will be online next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethanmendell Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Hey everyone! Does anyone know if we have to do anything about our conditional offers to make sure we're eligible for the Gates Cambridge? I'm from Canada and received my Cambridge offer last week but I have no idea if I need to take any action about it or if I can leave the self-service portal untouched.

Alpha_orionis Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I don't think you need to do anything special to be eligible. Your department will rank (or has already ranked) applicants based on academic merit and nominate the best ones for Gates and all the other scholarships. Some departments will tell you if you've been nominated, others not. This step is based on what you originally submitted in your application, so it doesn't require any further action from you. Congrats for getting an offer and good luck! ethanmendell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will still have some restrictions on gathering numbers, maybe wearing masks on public transport, but I'm pretty optimistic that we'll be back to some form of in-person teaching. They're on track to vaccinate all over-50's (with their first dose) by the end of May, and that covers the vast majority of people who are admitted to hospital with COVID, so I think risk will drop dramatically from there. I think all people at high risk should have both doses by October, plus a fair few of other groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ethanmendell Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 No email yet--do we know if they sent them all at once for every panel in the US round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha_orionis Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) @ethanmendell No idea, sorry! I hope you get good news soon. Does someone know if the "finalists" are all the people who were nominated by their departments, or if there has already been further shortlisting by Gates?

dmorgendorffer Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Do they also e-mail unsuccessful applicants? Also, has anyone in the Arts category heard back yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do list that the interview panel/I guess selection panel is the Social Sciences, but they also have clarified that they will not be conducting any interviews this year, and will instead do an online review of the application pack! So sorry for the confusion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The finalists that have been notified are the people who would usually be interviewed, but the email says that this year they will do a paper review of application documents instead.

cheshire Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Oh! My bad. I misunderstood. I was really hoping they would change their mind about interviewing so my wishful thinking morphed into misreading what you said. But congratulations! It is a feat to be shortlisted. :) Good luck with the final round. I am biting my nails very hard. No mail so far. blacksnow25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neurogyozas Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hi, has anyone received a shortlisting email from the Biological Sciences panel yet? I'm assuming they were sent at the same time as the other panels? Just want to confirm. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
