<p>I am sorry if you dont believe, but this is something I would not lie about.
I have been so worried that I did not get in b/c of my ACT scores. All my friends
who got in 2 weeks ago, all had 28 or higher and I didnā€™t. So I promise on my life that I wouldnā€™t lie about this. If you still donā€™t believe me I can email you the message I
got from WA and show you some of my friends who got in around the same time as me.
And if you still donā€™t believe me I can give you the email that U of M sends. And if you still donā€™t believe after that thenā€¦I canā€™t please everyone.</p>
