“I don’t know. That’s how I feel when I get a rejection like, ‘Your grades are good. Your GPA is high. You’re involved in all these sports but just because your test score wasn’t high we can’t accept you.’ It’s just like why does my future have to be dependent on a number? I don’t know. I don’t know. It’s just like I’m so much more than that. It’s just like I feel like they don’t look at it like that.” — Focus Group Report
