<p>“A bit, yeah, but Affirmative Action and “holistic” admissions tend to let a number of people into Michigan that don’t deserve to be there.”</p>
<p>I understand this statement and indeed some URM’s are given more consideration than applicants of other races. However many are athletes, and there is an admission council stationed in Detroit that recruits the “best” students from the Detroit area. Affirmative Action doesn’t just help black applicants though, thats why I assumed it was a joke.</p>
<p>I actually have a friend who was admitted with a 2.9.</p>
