Gates Cambridge Scholarships: interview results
Thank you for being available for interview last week.
I am delighted to let you know that you have been awarded a Gates Cambridge Scholarship. A formal offer letter will come from the Trust’s office in Cambridge shortly.
this is, naturally, blowing my mind. the next three years have crystallized & this is a v. good thing.
Congratulations from a longtime reader/appreciator! That’s awesome.
Hearty congratulations, although judging from the writing on this site and your other one, I can’t say I am surprised at all. You’ll make a great Gates scholar.
Fantastic! Well done.
The questions in your last post could keep me writing blog posts for weeks, but I’ve got a job interview to prepare for first.
Congratulations Rachel (as if it has not been said enough!)
Wishing you an exciting beginning to a marvelous journey ahead.
thank you all for your wonderful words of encouragement!
gavin: best of luck with the job interviews — take your own interview advice to heart and you shall be fine: it certainly served me well
Well-deserved congratulations. I suspect – and I hope this reads as the compliment it is meant to be – that no one is more surprised than you.
Rachel! So awesome! Congratulations.
So large committees can make good decisions after all. I cannot think of anyone more worthy of this accolade. Well done.
Congratulations!
And so the journey begins…
Congratulations — not that there was ever any doubt…
