<p>Maybe I’m missing something, but the Presidential Fellows site says the following:</p>
<p>“Graduate students from all academic disciplines who expect to complete an advanced degree from a qualifying college or university by August 31 of the academic year in which the competition is held, are eligible to become Fellows.”</p>
<p>I just don’t see how that’s relevant.</p>
<p>I’m not trying to knock American, I just don’t like the idea of the best aspect of the school not having anything to do with the school itself (in reference to the internships).</p>
