Hi,

I applied to district 2 for Rhodes and the Boston Region for the Marshall.

The Rhodes sent out a generic email to candidates who would not be invited for an interview (I was not not). I am assuming the Rhodes committees contact those they do wish to interview around the same time–so you might still be in the running!

For the Marshall: I have no idea when they contact applicants as to whether or not they will be interviewed. I just know that my application status still states I am endorsed and I am still waiting to hear whether or not I will make it to the interview stage.

In many ways, both the Rhodes and Marshall are looking for particular types of students (if you read about past winners, they are all generally the same). This can be frustrating, but it is what it is.

Like you, I am still holding out hope for graduate school in the US.

Good luck and best wishes!
