I volumteered with the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation in my home town and I know that is your group's philanthropy. What all do you do with/for them? I was in charge of XXX for them.

Etc, etc, etc. This was your downfall. You didn't sell yourself....
I know that you have a lot of experience with recruitment, but why are you pretending to know what happened here in a specific case?

UGA is competitive enough that it might come down to something superficial and silly. A friends of mine's daughter got released the year before last, and she was a likeable girl with great high school involvement and a wonderful personality, but she just wasn't very cute. She was released after second, I'd say through absolutely no fault of her own.

There's no real way to know why any particular PNM was released until we've actually met her or done MS.
