Edit: Ok Steph made a valid point: I had re-ranked to IBP, so that's probably why I didn't get to be interviewed for OIAP.

hahahahahaha.

URGH.

Apparently I was one of those who got slashed off the list in the first round for the Overseas Attachment.

What the.

Apparently (again), they judge by your GPA and determine if you are independent enough to survive overseas alone.

The lecturers and the panel, whom some(most, in fact) do not even know me and the rest of the hopefuls personally are the ones who made the cut.

Of course, it makes sense for the lecturers to do this selection. BUT, to cut people off at the first round by grades and whether they knew if we were independent or NOT, is too much for me to understand.

How much do they know us?

It's so infuriating.
Ok, it's not like I would go for OIAP anyways, BUT, to be eliminated at a selection round where we may not even be judged upon fairly is just unfair. ( please pardon for the lack of vocab)

it's just one of those days.
