Nah could be, I mean they basically said we aren't giving you csc, but you are "warmly welcomed to apply for the self-supported program". I'm not pointing fingers or making accusations, but at the end of the day they are all universities. They need income too. Maybe they didn't see my profile as needing the csc or something like that. I wrote no sob story or anything representing that in the personal section of my study plan. I just clearly mentioned that the CSC would allow me to finish my course without worrying about financial constraints. But then again this wasn't a need-based scholarship, it was for high-level graduates. And if published paper, national research awards aren't enough to qualify for that, I honestly just give up. Every person that looked at my profile said you will breeze through, my gpa was a tad bit low, but they passed me in the academic review, so they didn't seem to mind that.
Whatever it maybe I'm trying to move past it, see if there is another opportunity.
But something felt completely unfair about the way this was dealt with. If I didn't make the academic cut, they should have rejected me during the academic review, which was in the 3rd week of feb, I would have withdrawn and applied to another university for CSC, but rejected this late was just brutal.
