Grand total of 48 quality points and met the 2.5 GPA. I'm not a counselor or advisor, but if this is accurate, holy shite?!?!?! That is beyond embarrassing for Louisiana and like I said in another thread, I teach at a pretty good high school outside of BR.

Been saying this for years. It is far too easy to obtain TOPS.

Was TOPS free money available to everyone who met the lame academic requirements, with no financial qualifications?
