I think I don't quite understand what "this situation" refers to. Do you mean that there are multiple proposals for this project now? If so, that is perfectly fine and expected. There's only a finite number of projects and a larger number of students, so some of the projects will have mutliple applicants.

In the end we will pick the student who seems to be the best match based on both the proposal, the microproject and any other interactions with the community.
