Maybe if you amputate a limb, dye your hair pink and declare yourself gender non-binary two-spirited otherkin or something.
"Asian-Americans made up a record 22.7 percent of the class." ... imagine what that number might be without the racial bias!
It will be fun to see affirmative action abolished to see what the reaction will be when 50% of classes a Asian. We'll see who really was for equality and who wasn't then.
Just to put my record straight. I'm for class base assistance but not racial or sexual orientation.
I think most people would agree with that
i'm for directing people to trade schools
but those don't exist much anymore
I would as well. But not all geeks grow up with money.
Thank god for scholarships. Wouldn't have been able to afford college otherwise. Shit's a damn racket
same, i got off with a pretty low amount of debt. basically none compared to my gf.
then again, my scholarship was bs imo
"honors", what a joke.
should be called the "cheaters" scholarship
I am happy for scholarship, but I got a scholarship because I am hard of hearing aka disabled, not because of my ability. That irked me a bit and I didn't stay in the college long, because I felt like I was taking someone else's chance.
like everyone was only in the honors program because they knew how to game the system
and i only got in for not risking my grades in high school by intentionally aiming under my ability so i always got good grades.
They didn't take in account my grades, which were 3.5 GPA.
They ignored that and gave scholarship to me based on my disability.
could have been worse, could have been because of your skin color
It felt like I was cheating others who are more worthy than me.
One of the one's I got was my state's scholarship lottery one. That was just about 2.5k a semester but got dang the requirements were a joke. It was a minimum of something like 3.5 GPA and an 18 on the ACT. It's less now b/c surprise surprise when they're that low anyone can get that money.
a fucking 18 on the ACT?
wow
you could guess your way to that.
I got a 29 on the act and i felt like i did horribly
right?
After a year of struggling with my conscience, I told them I am quitting school and they should give my scholarship to someone who is more deserving than me.
Don't quote me on that, it was almost a decade ago. I'm looking up the stats now, but yeah. It was *low*
think i got like 30-32 range
probably 30
I wanted my college degree, but not at the expense of someone else.
Depends on how large the scholarship was
opted to look for schools that didn't really care about ACT/SAT scores
They gave me a 30K scholarship.
Oh wait! Not even a gpa minimum. "For High School seniors, the only requirement is a 19 on the ACT or ACT equivalent score (990 on SAT), FAFSA Required. "
There were many scholarships that went unclaimed by people at my school
If they give it to you they know you deserve it/can hack it at the school
they dont provide scholarships if they think youll flunk out
They gave it to me because I was disabled. Solo because of that.
That's what they should be imo
