<p>Anecdotal evidence? Are you kidding me? I tried out for the football team, I have buddies on the football, baseball, and track team. I’m pretty sure that should solidify my argument.</p>
<p>You don’t even attend the school yet, and you act like you know something about it. Heck you don’t even have a decision yet. Once you’ve completed a class or two at the institution then people may begin to respect your opinions.</p>
<p>You don’t need to go to the school to know what goes on in court cases or what the public votes on (for the record, I do know people at UMich and am probably making a recruiting trip out there sometime this year).</p>
<p>Are you just bitter because you got cut from the football team or something?</p>
<p>You’re so young and naive, haha…</p>
<p>Jankow, there is no statistical evidence out there with proves that they’re using affirmative action. If you want to take that and pretend you’re right (ignoring the fact that you don’t have any evidence, not even anecdotal, which says you’re right), then whatever. You are wrong though, we just can’t back it up with anything other than anecdotal evidence.</p>
<p>Ok, back to the OP’s question, I know someone who got in with a 2.8 four years ago. Mid-20s ACT. (Yes, a minority from Detroit Public Schools with poverty income and screwed up parents and whole host of other life factors). He only stayed a year though before transferring. [That’s personally the lowest I’ve ever heard of.]</p>
<p>Low GPAs are admitted, but you need to have a pretty darn good reason for them to admit you with a < 3.3 GPA + high scores or < 3.5 GPA + average scores.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha is that the best you can come up with?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What do you mean I don’t have any evidence? Did you read this thread and see the part about Michigan voters voting down affirmative action?</p>
<p>Our point is, do you believe everything you read? Marijuana is outlawed in all 50 states, are you going to believe that there isn’t law enforcement and politicians that smoke it? You must be out of your mind if you think everyone follows the rules.</p>
<p>Going back to my sports team argument… The football team was under investigation for not following rules regarding practice. The NCAA knows every team in the Big 10 and other conferences breaks these rules, but they don’t really enforce it. They “investigated” this year because some whiny ass players that weren’t getting time threw a fit about it. Not to mention, it’s very easy for the coaches to say “no, the players were not practicing, this is strength and conditioning time”. This is how high schools get around these rules, also. You didn’t play many sports back in high school I’m guessing…</p>
<p>This reminds me of that “gullible is written on the ceiling” joke…</p>
