The answer to this question will mainly only be helpful for those who already know they are being recommended by a SF (which would seem to apply to quite a few people on here).
Does anyone have any sense of what our chances of getting the scholarship are if we've been recommended? I think I read somewhere that 60-70% of the recommendations SMART gets from the SFs are accepted. At first glance, that might tell you that you have a 60-70% of making it if you know you've been recommended; HOWEVER, it seems that many candidates get recommended by multiple SFs. Do you think that 30-40% rejection rate includes recommendations that are rejected by SMART because the candidate was awarded a position at a different SF? If that's the case, maybe our chances our better than we thought and we're getting worked up over something we actually stand almost 100% chance of getting (again, for those who know they've been recommended and are still going crazy waiting to find out).
What do you guys think?
