Because it isn't about picking a junior or senior !
Because it isn't ( or shouldn't ) be part of the college admissions process !
Because it isn't about the relationship between students and their mentors !
It is ( or was ) about picking those students that had demonstrated the most commitment, and highest potential to lead FIRST into the future and operate FIRST and its affiliate operations with the highest of standards.
Losing sight of what the award needs to accomplish and trying to serve multiple masters will dilute the effectiveness and meaning of the award, hence this discussion.
