greybeta | About that Truman scholarship...

I got rejected. Well, to put it more politely, "The selection committee decided that the Truman competition was not the best match for your talents and goals." I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. It's not too surprising, though, as my GPA is kind of low for these things. Also, the Truman is a public service scholarship, and I don't have an overwhelming service resume. However, it's probably a good thing. This frees up time for me to do other things. And I've learned a lot about myself in the process.

That's one door that has closed.
