Even though I already have a graduate degree, if this were a graduate program I would consider dropping everything that I am doing and apply for whatever program is offered, just for the opportunity.

It almost seems like it is wasted on a typical undergrad freshman who probably cannot fully grasp or enjoy the value. “With less than 100 first-year students, the extracurricular opportunities on offer are sure to be limited.
