<p>I applied for a scholarship which requires an on-campus interview. During that interview, I mentioned that I would be unable to compete in a competition due to being technically "overqualified" (seriously) under new rules. However, I am unsure if that particular point made it into the interviewer's report, though I was careful to mention it, and she commented on it (nothing negative sounding). Do I need to send a letter addressing the issue, or I'm I fine? I was just awarded the scholarship today, and while I don't want to loose it; I also want to be perfectly honest.</p>
<p>Since you were honest in the interview (Congratulations on being so honest!), I don't think you need to notify the college. Often scholarship committees decide to give scholarships to students who don't meet the posted qualifications. This can occur if there weren't enough candidates who qualified or if the student is one that the committee doesn't want to lose to another college or major.</p>
<p>Just to clarify:
This wasn't overqualified competition wasn't about the scholarship; it was a high school bowl-type competition (so basically an EC).</p>
<p>Wolfpiper:
congrats on the scholarship. You don't need to write the letter. It's okay not to take part in competitions especially if you are overqualified.</p>
<p>Thanks. My concern is that I mentioned I would be doing it this year in my app before the rules changed. But the fact I mentioned it in the interview is enough?</p>
