“More than 1,100 eligible (3.25 GPA or higher) students from partner high schools in Fairfax County, Alexandria, Manassas, and Manassas Park were emailed admission eligibility offers directly from Mason, waiving requirements for application fees, teacher recommendations, and essays. Mason has also offered direct admissions to thousands of students through the Common App Direct Admissions Program.

The first year Mason offered direct admission through the Common App was in January 2022 to 2,000 students. Of those offered, 232 students accepted and applied for fall 2022, 39 students submitted deposits, and 32 enrolled. Of those, 59% were underrepresented minorities, 37% were first generation, and 20% were residents of rural communities. Their collective GPA was 3.65. The top five majors for those students were computer science, engineering, biology, cybersecurity, and neuroscience.”

The schools aren’t mentioned. The GPAs actually sound pretty good-higher than the3.25 noted in the acps progran. And in the end, only 32 of these kids enrolled.

Not sure what everyone is freaking out for. It is pretty obvious they are trying to reach out to students less likely to go to college - low income, first Gen, and minority. This isn’t hard, nor is it hurting your snowflake.

I know what they're trying to do but they can't even have them fill out an app like VCU and Radford?

No, it's not on the EIP list.

And...? The EIP thing and the 3.25 guaranteed admission thing are different.

Board of Visitors! I'm waiting for the lawyers on the board to tell me how cherry-picking five schools is somehow going to pass a court challenge (it won't but it will take three years to resolve and in the meantime GMU gets more diversity and first gen students - yes that is what this is all about).

Are you saying only FCPS has that program because that isn’t true—other school districts are listed on the page.

Are you saying, that there is no direct admit program—it is only this program in the link? Because that isn’t true either. Our FCPS has the direct admit program.

All I know is we all got the notice at HHS, and it didn't have anything to do with first gen.

If it isn't the 1st gen program, because that's the only one I knew that was automatic admit for FCPS students, where is the list of other FCPS schools that are getting automatic admit for gpa?

If this ever makes the news, politicians from the rest of the state will make noise about funding and it will be immediately amended

What % of the school is first gen?

They are targeting schools with low application #s/first gen students.

Do you mean if it gets shoved into the Republican outrage machine and RWNJs all over the country start screaming about it?

Here are the EIN high schools:
Annandale
Fairfax
Falls Church
Justice
Mount Vernon
West Potomac

For this new direct-admit program sounds like Herndon is one of the five HSs.

It’s come up with multiple people I know so apparently people do read them. Maybe it was on local TV news too.

It is a local news item. At least it is until the rabid RWNJs start spewing idiotic talking points about it.
