jesuisnatalie Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Hey guys! I also applied to both. I think we hear back from Rangel on Nov 18th and Pickering the week after -- the specific dates are listed on the website. Trying not to worry too much!

I thought the same; however, I saw it says the 17th on a lot of their webinars and parts of their site. My guess is it will be either tomorrow or Wednesday. Fingers crossed!

jesuisnatalie Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Ahhh now I'm really nervous! Good luck to you! I'm feeling slightly better that they're both accepting 50% more applicants this year, but who knows. I would love to know how covid has affected the number of people applying... I have a feeling more people applied this year than in the past. Paper Towns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling more people applied this year than in the past. Good luck to you as well! I was thinking about that too. On one hand, it is encouraging to know that 50% more applicants will be accepted. On the other hand, COVID could have potentially raised the number of applicants drastically or potentially lowered it (I also think the former might be a bit more possible). They don't ever release official statistics, do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesuisnatalie Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Actually they do! For Pickering they received 844 applications in 2020 and 822 in 2019 (https://pickeringfellowship.org/resources/fellows-snapshots/#2020Snaps). I couldn't find the info for Rangel but I imagine it's similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a reason you decided not to apply to Rangel? No particular reason, I just found both at the same time and the Rangel deadline came earlier. Didn't want to rush an application, so put all my effort into Pickering. Also- has anyone heard back yet?
