Thank you, Lamia. I applied for the Rhodes scholarship and was shortlisted. I’m from the West Africa constituency, so I guess it’s a bit different from yours. Out of about over 400+ applicants, they shortlisted 27 applicants for which I was a part and then they had a virtual interview just two days ago to reduce that number to 15 (still waiting the results).. those will then travel to Ghana or Nigeria for the dinner and final interview. It’s quite competitive for us, because they only offer 3 scholarships for West Africa (18 countries).
This is great news, Amos! I know how competitive the West Africa constituency is (in fact, I mentioned that I’d increase the number of scholarships in that constituency on my ‘Changes I’d make to the Rhodes Scholarship’ video. Great job so far and I wish you the best of luck! Do keep me posted on how it goes!
That social event and final interview sound like an introvert’s nightmare. I heard that “you can apply twice”, so the real question is: will you apply again? Great first video, Lamia!
I read this and immediately thought 'has she somehow managed to access the script for my second video which I am currently editing?' Can't wait for you to see it, it's basically a response to your comment! Thanks for watching girl!
Thank you for the explanation. Please from the list you have presented, Is it fixed that only two candidates from the whole of West Africa are being selected?
What if we have a GPA of 3.69. would we be eligible then? Also, do you know about the CGPA thing? If we have 3.7 GPA in our semesters but the CGPA is 3.69, what's the criteria then?
Hi Zarish, I'd advise you to email the secretary of your constituency (their email addresses are usually provided) and see what they say. Best of luck!
Hi Reem, your GPA is definitely the criteria you'll be assessed on primarily, but if you feel that your leadership skills, commitment to service and your other extra-curricular activities are up to Rhodes' standards, I would encourage you to go forward with your application, because either way, you'll win! (I have a video coming out soon where I'll elaborate on that) Best of luck, keep me posted!

is having a 3.7+ GPA really important for applying? if someone has less than 3.7 can they still be eligible for the scholarship?
