Who's to say the alumni won't be biased? Element of jealousy?

@@bahroz in my personal Fulbright interview, the Pakistani panelist was HEAVILY biased. He had already started with the assumption that I am more passionate for my extracurriculars than for the subject I'd applied for. Even when I gave evidence to support my passion for my subject, he kept bringing up the same assumption. I got that impression from both local panelists, but one was a tad too much leaning on that side

@@krabbykat9918 there is always some element of luck… no matter how prepared you are…

[@krabbykat9918]

@@bahroz Agreed, luck is a huge factor, but certainly not when local panelists judge with prejudice.
