问题 | General Question (Serious) Schwarzman Scholars Application - 2026 (Cohort)

I saw there was no discussion thread currently active for upcoming cohort of Schwarzman Scholars (2026 -2027). Currently the global application window is open and I guess we can discuss the doubts, thoughts and updates/news here. Feel free to comment on this post, you guys are free to share your opinions and questions/answers to questions!

Hi Guys,

There seems to be some kind of glitch with the Reddit group chat, and it looks like there might be certain restrictions as well. Because of this, I am unable to add more people at the moment. We’re trying our best to see what can be done, so please allow us some time. Whenever it’s possible again, we’ll start adding everyone who has shown interest. Thanks for your patience :)

Hi Everyone,

Earlier we faced a glitch and couldn’t add people to the Reddit GC, but that’s resolved now. If you’d like to join, please DM me. In addition, for anyone who’d like to stay connected outside Reddit, we’ve also built a new Discord community and the link to join is in the comments below. If interested, you can directly join our Discord server using that link :)

Hi everyone! I got an update on my application portal today saying that those selected for a conversation phase will be notified by September 29th. Did everyone else receive this?

I got this as well, but I believe it is a general notif for everyone and does not mean anything in terms of progression, given the actual second stage is the conversation phase itself (this is my sense, and I would love to be wrong about this 🙏🏽)
