URBANA — Described as a candidate with "outstanding" personal and professional qualities, James Holmes was accepted into the University of Illinois Neuroscience Program in 2011 and was offered financial support through a combination of fellowships, teaching and research assistantships, and tuition and fee waivers, The News-Gazette has learned.
However, a few weeks after his visit to the Urbana campus in the spring of 2011 and one day after he was offered admission to the highly selective graduate program, Holmes declined to accept, without elaborating on the reasons or his plans for the future, according to university documents provided to The News-Gazette under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
The UI documents, which included email correspondence, travel arrangements, Holmes' application and more, depict Holmes as an aspiring cognitive neuroscientist.

Holmes was offered a financial stipend of $22,660 per year. Financial support would come through a combination of fellowship, NIH traineeship, teaching and research assistantships, plus tuition and fee waivers.
The UI's Neuroscience Program is an interdisciplinary research unit with an academic program leading to a doctoral degree. It has 70 students and more than 85 affiliated faculty from departments across campus studying the brain from a broad range of perspectives, according to its website.
Their research involves nutrition and memory, neuroengineering, aging, cell signaling and communication, neuroimmunology, and sensory and motor systems, among other areas.

The program receives about 120 to 150 applicants annually and takes in between six and 15 students each year.
The university offered admission to Holmes on March 21, 2011. The next day Holmes declined the offer. He did not indicate his reasons or plans.
"My apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Best wishes in your candidate search," he wrote to Beshers, program coordinator.

KoolAid. It's the only common denominator.
Like why did so many “intelligent” people vote for OBAMA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Why did so many intelligent Germans vote for The Nationalist Socialist Party of Adolf Hitler in 1933?
It was indeed the Kool Aid. The emotional appeal over logic of a race based nationalism and the promise to take back wealth for “ Der Volk,” combined with charismatic leadership and a dedicated, supporting, fawning press.
Obama’s version is the same as Uncle Adolf’s, its just dressed in different clothing, but Obama’s fascism wears a similar hatred for the Jews and Israel.
This article explains it all:

And the Gestapo and SS were waiting in the wings for when the KoolAid wore off.
