<p>I don’t think they make exceptions. A lot of the accepted students (someone may know the number, but my impression is around half) qualify for the scholarship, so I don’t think they are reaching out to qualify more. However, you need not get all of the qualifying scores in one sitting, so do some practice essays and give it one more try. If you are concerned that your other scores might slip, send your scores to your other colleges before this last sitting. Then you can just concentrate on the writing this time, and send these scores only to Mudd. Good luck! My daughter loves Mudd, it is everything she hoped it would be.</p>
