<p>My friend and I are going to a community college in AZ...and she applied to an IN-STATE four year school (ASU to be exact) and her grades are extremely high...she was in the top 10% in her graduating high school class and maintains a 4.0 at the community college. It turns out that just the other day she got rejected from ASU....How can that happen with such high grades and the fact that she was an instate student? Does this mean that there no hope for the rest of us?</p>
<p>that doesn't make sense.</p>
<p>It is 100% percent true</p>
<p>No, it means that there is more hope for the rest of you. She probably made a fatal mistake in her essays or was perceived as an underachiever given her HS stats. Also, some state schools don't think highly of the local community colleges. One such example is my school, which rarely accepts anyone from the local CC.</p>
<p>That very well could be the case...but the only reason she went to a comm college was for financial reasons...it is strange because she was accepted to NYU, Brown, and places like that and just ended up not being able to afford it...I bet that her rejection is extremely abnormal..</p>
<p>This does not make sense. Brown is need-blind.</p>
<p>I agree that it is complicated however..I believe it had something to do with the portion of aid that was not met through grants and scholarships...like the loans (which she was unable to apply for due to her parents credit and such)...</p>
