When you're being recruited by 8-10 schools, you have to narrow down the field somehow.
i.e. it's not about turning down a full-ride; it's about deciding which full-ride to accept.
Ain't it ironic?
It demonstrates the priorities of many universities as well. They're putatively institutions of higher learning but there doesn't seem to be nearly as much competition for students who excel in academics.
