the fed govt reply was that i had the pre-requisite qualifications but i wasnt selected for the interview process . . . i hate DC and the fed govt.
Nope. I'm a double minority and as a black female with a college education, I can vouch that, yeah, no, the minority thing doesn't seem to work anymore.

I've been told by a friend that works an NIH, that they go straight for people that "know someone", after that its military, after that it's a free for all.
