[quote=Anonymous]From the above link:

“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.[/quote]
