How does someone choose to "be first gen?" Can parents relinquish their college degree? |
I know a number of applicants who didn't get in. SCHEV has last year's incoming class at a 4.0 GPA, a 3.75 at the median and a 3.45 at the bottom 25th percentile. https://research.schev.edu//enrollment/B10_FreshmenProfile.asp. This pilot program is designed to address the anticipated number of falling applications as well as to target underrepresented students, which is why Alexandria City High was picked for the target program. |
The EIP is for 1st gen students. GMU could easily use the questions regarding parent education levels on the common app and target students that way. |
Nothing in the bold suggests choosing to be first gen. It says "be first gen." |
its a 4 year community college NOVA 2.0 |
What year"? what was their gpa? |
Well, my kiddo has a GPA below 3.0, so she's not even trying.
If she winds up at NVCC, transferring in is an option. That is what her father did, but he also was a pt adult student. That said, for the mix of majors/classes she currently wants, Mason isn't a good match for her. |
Has anyone explained why a public university is allowed to have a different admission standard for one single city and not any other jurisdiction in the state? |
No it’s not ![]() |
Yup. To the PP worried this benefits only URMs, time to start house-hunting! |
Can you people not read? It’s for ALL students in ACPS who have a gpa over 3.25. Sheesh. |
Why on earth wouldn’t it “be allowed”? Anyone can move to ACPS if they feel like the admissions process is too difficult for them. |
OP, stop picking fights with ghosts. GMU's claim to fame is not selectivity; it's the high academic performance of its students relative to its non-selectivity, due to an aggressive scholarship/discount program. |
Actually its not, with 56,000 students from all over the U.S and many international. My DD's roommates were from overseas, California, Texas, Washington State and China. But continue to spread falsehoods if it makes YOU feel superior |
You're the same person who would happily send your kid to JMU, a school ranked lower than GMU. Lol! Whatever makes you sleep well, Becky! |
