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.

Well it's definitely excluding my snowflake so that's f-d up.

Yes it does. I don't know why GMU though this was permissible. I[b] know members of the Boar am awaiting for their expanation

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).

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

It has made the news.

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

Has it made news? It's in a couple of hype local outlets that no one reads.

No, it's not on the EIP list.



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

Didn't realize there were different programs.

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