</p>
<p>If your faith in God has been eliminated that easily then your faith wasn’t authentic to begin with…</p>
<p>A kid at my school had a 3.6 (or maybe 3.7 gpa) UW
Did not self report APs because she got 1-3 on all tests
sub 2000 SAT
650 was her highest SAT II
like barely top 10 percent</p>
<p>And since she said she was both white and AA because her WHITE parents are from south africa…got in</p>
<p>I didn’t personally apply…but I feel your pain when kids like this get in by being sneaky about their race
