I don't know that its common, but certainly not unheard of. Each facility is allotted a certain number of SMART picks, so it is possible while the specific team you will be working with REALLY wanted you, other teams' picks were selected over you at that facility. Similarly just because a facility selects you does not guarantee SMART will award you the scholarship. Congratulations!
