And the selection committee can be totally wrong. D and I were in GT Stamps interview trip and they had this parent talking about his D’s experience. He said his D and her boyfriend met at the Stamps interview trip and her D got the scholarship. Then he went on and told us how his D had to retake a class because of a F (her scholarship was of course suspended at least for a while). Meanwhile, her BF did so much better in grades and got a great job which paid higher than his mid career salary. He joked that GT picked the wrong Stamps winner in his D’s case.
I think GT made a wrong decision in my D’s case too. Lol. But really the selection committee everywhere wants a box of chocolates. They want kids covering all regions of the country and abroad, all majors, all interests, all ECs, all races, etc. it is not you, it is them
