I guess people "winged it" and I worked so hard, no typos, excellent grammar and great essay. I guess because I had international experience before I was selected as an alternate. I am deeply sad and depressed. Financial Aid rejected me for study abroad and this was all I had left. My only hope down the drain. What are the chances they will call me? Slim to nothing because who turns down a scholarship to study abroad. I worked so hard on this. Congrats to the winners.
