Some of us are here because we can be. We simply responded to your comment. With all respect, it’s not that deep. It was a simple response we gave you. I’m a student who has applied for this scholarship and I don’t have very high standardized test scores, so from my perspective I don’t really like to seek out what was the lowest score I’ve seen obtain the scholarship, rather I understand they have minimums, 1000 SAT and 19 ACT. I’m above that but I personally feel like from the perspective of a student of course let them know what the required minimum score is, and simply encourage them to strive for the highest possible score they can obtain. I feel like being told I must achieve a very high score or “here’s the lowest one I’ve heard obtain a scholarship” isn’t necessarily helpful nor encouraging.
If it’s their passion to serve their country and obtain this scholarship and to strive for this, I personally don’t like being compared to other or comparing myself to others. Just be yourself, participate in Extracurriculars that make you happy, and do the best you can on your Standardized tests.
i believe that is the greatest thing you can tell your students.
