Frequent Reasons for Not Advancing in the Marshall Scholars Competition

(compiled with the input and advice of Mary Denyer, Assistant Secretary and Head of Scholarship Administration for the Marshall Scholarships, and Caroline Cracraft, Vice
Consul for the British Consulate in Chicago)

	Insufficient academic credentials (GPA, test scores, etc.).
	Insufficient academic preparation (depth and breadth of study).
	The proposed degree program would be better done elsewhere (e.g., an MBA).
	Lack of broad interests, as exemplified by narrow or lackluster extracurriculars.
