<p>I appreciate the suggestions to call them up and retake and/or take the SAT. Just want to clarify some things:</p>
<p>“And…no…your GPA is not rare. Many kids today have a 4.0…and having a 4.0 really doesn’t help them ranking wise like high test scores do.”</p>
<p>I didn’t say my GPA was rare. I’m saying that it is a much more accurate assessment of my capabilities when compared to standardized test scores. It shows my progress and commitment over three years. The number of students who have the same GPA as me doesn’t make a difference to the level of my high school accomplishments.</p>
<p>“Sorry…that’s not the attitude to have. It’s THEIR money, it’s THEIR scholarship…they get to decide the rules…and THEY get to decide who deserves it. At this point, you don’t qualify. Right now, you don’t deserve it.”</p>
<p>I understand it’s their money and their scholarship. It’s also quite obvious that I don’t qualify for the scholarship. As to if I deserve it or not, though, it’s my honest opinion that I do. I’m not being arrogant; the test difficulties fluctuate unreasonably between test dates, and I’ve proven that I can score a 30. It’s worth a try to see if LSU will yield, but if not, I’ll do whatever it takes to earn the scholarship.</p>
