Its probable that my course completion may got delayed because I just got back from US after completing exchange semester (fall 2015) as a Fulbright student. So my question is,would this former selection make me eligible to apply for Rhodes any longer? And if yes ,then what would be the best time to apply for it and how, in specific? Thank you in anticipation. hoping your reply soon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02203500951847175705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717232221873424471.post-30501253463279392532015-08-21T06:35:34.375-07:002015-08-21T06:35:34.375-07:00I am a student of D-Pharm from karachi....

The GRE is not an official requirement but it can serve as a good indicator of academic performance. In the overall sense of things I would say that you should really aim for a good score since, even if you don't get the Rhodes, you can use that score to apply for Fulbright etc. <br />c. I am not part of the selection committee so I am not aware if this perception has any basis in reality. I think there has been sufficient diversity in what the Pakistani Rhodes scholars study, that I feel this perception of a subject-related bias is unfounded. <br /><br />Best of luck!<br />Ali Asadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17570475335094353378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717232221873424471.post-66692615208094824332014-08-05T04:41:48.582-07:002014-08-05T04:41:48.582-07:00Hey, I think it should be possible.

(For instance,in a given year the Committee might have reached a unanimous conclusion that Engineering or ICT is a priority field.In this circumstance,an applicant with lets say Philosophy as their focus might already have a comparative disadvantage).<br /><br />Regards.Shaheera Jalil Albasithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08087456267960081482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717232221873424471.post-15203937388275354652014-08-03T10:42:49.572-07:002014-08-03T10:42:49.572-07:00My bachelor's degree completes in may 2015.

Your answers have been really helpful in outlining exactly what I should be working on. I just had this one question. I feel very strongly that it is crucial to address people's reluctance to get their children vaccinated against the polio virus owing to misguided religious reasons up in the North-west And I want this to be the basis of my social work. Can I do this without, for lack of a better word, legitimizing, it with an NGO? Do individualistic efforts have lesser validity and consequence than affiliated ones?
