Who on here got TOPS? Did you keep it, or fall below the threshold? I know a lot of people on this board are pre-TOPS. I started at LSU in 1999. I had a 29 on the ACT but was denied because I was homeschooled (gymnast) and there was a requirement to register with the school board, which my parents didn't do. So my diploma from a correspondence curriculum from VA was considered "out of state". I know a lot of friends who had TOPS but quickly lost it, due to poor grades. Just curious how many actually got free college for the whole ride.

29? That's very impressive.

So do you still have a tight, supple gymnast's body?

You could only get a 29.

Rouge I saw a sign for tops when I drove by lsu in 2001. I was home schooled at the time (fitness model).

I am currently on tops. I know 2 people who went into school with me who lost tops on bad grades then dropped out.

Eta: I had a 27 with a 3.66

That's pretty sad. It only required I think a 2.0 or 2.5 gpa. You shouldn't be in college if you can't get those grades.

I scored 20 on my ACT and received TOPS. I lived in the library at college and graduated with a degree in Accouting in three years. I am very thankful TOPS was available.
