Since you are below the "I" and there's that much interest in the recruit from others, if you offer the scholarship, you may stay at very low and you still won't be seen.
I just did that in a similar situation that I'm trying up sneak in, like 2 days ago.
10 teams on the list, 2 high, 1 moderate, those 3 have offers. The other 7 are very low with no offer. I am a "V". I offered the scholarship only, and I'm still hidden. I will drop the bomb on 1st cycle of RS2
