    Um. yeah, I got a scholarship from the National Merit people too. Does it not count because it was sponsored by a college (and because i couldn't take it?)

    uggghhh.. I am so sick of people only being recognized based on they're so called "intelligence." That is so unfair. What about people like me, who should be recognized because we work out and go to tanning salons? I think the National Merit Scholarship biased and lacks any Merit at all. It should stop immediately. alrightbye.

    Perhaps the reason youre whining that the SAT is racial is because you "would of" done better if you knew some grammar, man.
