Rejected by State University due to her morals??

Your entrance essay is a very big deal when applying to U of M. I'm curious what was written. It's not spoken of in the article and it says a lot about who you are, why it's important to be a part of U of M and what you hope to accomplish.

The ACT score is low if you come from decent performing schools, but probably acceptable and understandable in challenged school settings. I know plenty of my classmates got in with 24's and 25's but I don't think this is a very big composition of admissions. Neither is GPA when it's 3.5 or higher. Though you'll want to be at the top if you come from a high performing school.

Did I mention the essay?

I think the protest is the wrong way to go about this. The news will die off in a few days, the university won't budge except for a media comment. It's certainly a real challenging issue....but couching it based on a rejection letter seems hardly the right way to go about it.

But she came from what is claimed to be the top charter school in the city. Why would one need to adjust her grades and scores up? I mean charters are here to save us from sub par DPS right?

Re her essay, from the articles, apparently she wrote her essay[[s) on her dream to end racism.
