<p>*** is this? Sounds like a total scam... Why do es the federal gov not crack down on these POS</p>

<p>It is a scam, even if it is legit, it is overly exaggerating its prestige or importance…</p>

<p>This is a hilarious scam. IJS</p>

<p>I never got one of these.</p>

<p>The irony is that I don’t even qualify for their scam…</p>

<p>Translation:</p>

<p>“Congratulations, you have a GPA that indicates at least a marginal dedication to school. Now please give us $35 so we can send you a paper certificate and a useless box of rope.”</p>
