So I was in their Envoys program for a year and I was a couple months into my 2nd year. When I got really bored at my other high school, I decided to switch high schools to where I could actually learn something. After telling the director of the program, he said that he needed to question his boss as to whether or not I would be allowed to stay in the Envoys program. I started to get worried when he said this, because Case gives a full-ride scholarship to students who have completed the Envoys program. My mentor said that, since I was one of the best in the program, that I shouldn't be removed from the program. In fact, he was disappointed when I was. A couple weeks later when the director's boss finally came in, they decided that I should be removed from the program. And keep in mind that THE ONLY THING I DID WAS CHANGE SCHOOLS FOR A BETTER EDUCATION! So just because I'm not learning anything at my current high school and decide to switch while I'm in the program, I'm removed? How does that work out? I still would've been going to every single silly meeting they had, and I actually would've been meeting with my mentor more often than I normally would. In fact, I would be doing more work, but they decide that they're gonna kick me out? Attached is the image of what they said. Very silly reason, especially in my opinion. I'm glad the chairman of my department decided to let me continue working with them, since my name is on a research paper with my mentor, but I still find it hard to believe that I was removed. They get a generous grant from the NSF just to run the program, and they said they have plenty of funding. Is this a scam or what? If they can get away with stuff like this, they will. So then I asked for the contact information of the person who made the decision, otherwise I would talk to someone of higher authority, and the director only demanded to speak with my parents. Then he told my parents literally the same stuff I was told, and avoided even explaining why the decision was made. In fact, he made sure to tell us that I'm not even supposed to be on campus before the appropriation forms were filled out properly. Basically, he tried to scare us from asking again. It's not a bad university, they just make sure to hold on to as much money as possible: even for students like me with my credentials.
