<p>Your posting came across as extremely rude and offensive. I’m actually very surprised that you were given the honor of being an Ingram Scholar, as you don’t represent the Program very well. It is troubling that a Program that historically has accepted the vast majority of the finalists (on average over 80%), to now accept 26%, with absolutely no explanation to the finalists, and no mention of any “change in what they were looking for”.</p>
