My dad called the Byrd’s CT office, and they are going to give me an award! It was exactly what I suspected: the school gave them a “top decile” rank, and they converted it to the rank 6/60. Today they called the school, confirmed the real rank and recognized the error. I now wonder if this “top 10% rank” hurt my chances in National Merit and Presidential Scholar competitions.
