isn't that what an athlete had to have to get into schools (no specific school)?? I would expect the standards for general applicants to be a little tougher. I would have gotten into the school as an out-of-state student under whichever policy. I chose to go to A&T because the people I met at a college fair and the information they provided to me sold me on wanting to be a business student at T. I graduated with honors in Accounting, and it's all thanks to Good Ole A&T!

Standards should be set, but they should also be flexible if a student has the GPA but not the SAT, which we are historically poor at then they should get it in.

That is why you have thoughtful and insightful Admission officers to look beyond just test scores sometimes. But it also takes the young applicant to be aggressive to show he or she is more than what's that test score says.

I remember in 12th grade English, we focused for weeks on crafting personal statements for college applications. However, for many of the HBCUs I applied to, that was not even needed. So, if we increase our GPA and SAT requirements. We include an essay, which allows for the 1% that the Chancellor can have discretion with.
