Yes - I completely realize it’s not guaranteed. I did not take a screenshot or print out - didn’t think I needed to (note to people in the future) because I knew it was holistic and not based on hard numbers such as an Alabama. I used very conservative numbers.
The point of my thread is how do I go back and ask for more (any) merit money, since initially my D was in the range, and if there are any strategies to use and who do I even talk to?
But I do know how we will proceed. Thanks to all of you comments.
