<p>This thread has been very helpful as I have been having ongoing discussions with S about pursuing Marshall/Rhodes. S is a junior math major at Princeton who plans to get a PhD in math and pursue a career in research and teaching. He has no plans to study abroad as an undergrad because he’s working with some of the best mathematicians in the world right where he is. In addition to being a top student, he’s a varsity athlete and he’s been identified as a fellowship candidate. </p>
<p>In my conversations with him, he seems somewhat reluctant to pursue an overseas fellowship. He thinks it would be “nice” but he questions if he would really be better off going straight to a grad school at a top program in the US. Any thoughts or advice? He’d be very good at the cocktail parties.</p>
