As a pediatric oncologist, my choice is easy. The young lady, future doctor, future Nobel Prize Winner. The other student will wrap his car around a telephone pole after a post game drinking binge and all we will forget his name by the next year.
The issue is “most celebrated” by whom? Though to be fair, he’s going to do his thing more or less immediately and she’ll spend the next 6 to 8 years getting ready to do hers… and her most exciting moments won’t happen with a TV crew recording the moment.
Do bear in mind, too, that he’s an entertainer which, particularly since the advent of movies and TV, has always paid much higher than the apparent value of what they actually do.

The one on the left will be paid a stipend as part of her fellowship. The one on the right will have to get money under the table if at all.
