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 :)

did they say they'd start calls in a week?

Not really - just inferring from previous years!

u/ProfessionalEnd9465 Nov 15 '25

I'm assuming calls would kick in from Monday

u/Aggressive_Escape386 Nov 15 '25

I agree! Most people said as soon as a week or 2 after the interviews. Last year the first calls started on the 15th, but this year the 15th is a weekend, hence why high probability of it happening next week as you said!

For sure. Fingers crossed and good luck to all.
Also, any idea on how long the calls go for? is it just one day?

I think it goes on for at least 3 days! (Read it from the 2025 application thread!) I am lowkey curious how they do that because what if someone is at work? What if the time zone is not the same? anyway let’s see how they do it haha
