Analiesse Isherwood was on her way to the bus stop when she received email notification that her application as a Rhodes Scholar finalist had been accepted, or rejected. And the subject line wasn't very revealing.
"I almost shut down the e-mail," anticipating rejection and wanting to delay the news for a while, Isherwood said. But in fact the news was good. Isherwood is one of 16 finalists from the Northwest; the winners will be announced Saturday.
Isherwood, 22, has a bachelor's degree in neuroscience from Western Washington University and is in her second year at the University of Washington Medical School.
The Rhodes scholarships are among the most prestigious academic awards in the world. Students win the right to study at the University of Oxford in Great Britain.
