<p>Alicia- I am sorry you did not make it to the interview stage. There are MANY well qualified applicants that apply. As GAdawg pointed out FF/Ramseys have impressive stats. As for yield- the fellowship office work hard to balance the class. The yield was slightly higher last year than previous. I think there are 26 Fellows in the class of 2016, 17 in class of 2015. The intent was to raise the number of fellows in class of 2016, there were more invited to the interview weekend. 61 invited this year.</p>
<p>If you had the competitive stats to apply for the FF, I am sure you will have some nice opportunities that will help compensate for the disappointment you feel now. My d was disappointed when doors closed for her on some scholarships, but right round the corner another one opened… the fellowship @UGA.</p>
