Can any students talk about the Gabelli Presidential Scholars Program at BC?

Hi everyone!
I just found out I was selected for the GPS (I love that) Program at Boston College, and would love to know more about it!
Can any BC students (whether or not they are in the program) talk about it?
–> Are the students excluded?
–> Are there any problems with it?
–> Any really positive factors?

I love the trips during spring breaks! That sounds awesome, but I’d love to hear what students have to say.
Thanks!

How did you find out you were selected? and can you please include your stats?
