Posting preferred schools suggests that students from those Universities will get the most attention/leniency/praise. A fair contest wouldn't even suggest something like that.

I was wondering if this is a hox, but its really the true thing. In that case I think I'll try my hand at it -- Microsoft said nothing about age and I've been a student of programming for the last 25 years :)
