I'd like to get some advice, please.
I applied for many scholarships some months ago and one of the organizations replied. I went through an interview then a few weeks later, an assessment. I didn't do well at the assessment. It included IQ tests (which are time bound, of course) and a couple of group projects. I think I faired well in the group project but did terribly in the IQ tests.
There were 4000 applicants for the scholarship. 80 were shortlisted for the interview. Then I was part of the 37 who were shortlisted for the assessment. 4/37 applied for undergraduate studies. The remaining 33 were applying for A-levels/foundation. I was one of the 4. I know another one of us 4 was also rejected. I do not know what the outcome was for the other 2. There are 2 more rounds of interviews for the rest of them to go through.
I've read and heard that IQ tests do not assess a person's true intelligence at it is limited to just a few areas of one's intelligence. I want to put to them an argument that IQ tests aren't everything and that I have qualities..etc I really don't know how to start on my letter of appeal. So some advice or even a sample letter of appeal (I wish!) would really be appreciated.
The organization has ++++++ of money to spare and they never have a set number of scholarships that they have to give out. They can give out as many as they like because of the endless (not really but you get what I mean) funds that they have..
I wasn't sure where to place this thread but since scholarships have to do with finance, I thought this the most suitable place. Hope I haven't got it wrong! :s
TIA for any help.
