... fascinating and seminal piece of scholarship surveying the first several centuries ... -Christian but, like all serious scholarship, his book wastes no space ...
I don't find your college scholarship case a strenghener for your argument that you are not good at standardized tests. In fact I don't think that you are not good at standardized tests is worth mentioning at all.
@Pacifico My point is that undergrad scholarship and GPA are already included in the application and being considered. To restate facts is redundancy not addendum.
