Future Told by Two Numbers
Mckenzee Stephens
Numbers of the Future
• Students rely on two numbers
SAT GPA
Why Are These Numbers Important?
• College eligibility at FGCU based on these two numbers
FGCU Criteria for acceptance• a 3.0 grade point average or GPA.• a 440 in each section on the SAT.
Personal Essay
How it helps
Personal essays involve money, staff, and time that the University does not have time for.
How it Hurts
A test doesn’t show success of a student. Full representation= nonexistent
How it Hurts• Public schools and private schools: different criteria for GPA.
One school’s 4.0 could be another's 3.5.
My Proposal
An optional personal essay.
Write FGCU Admissions today for personal essay.Help university get better representation of its future Eagles.
Hmm.. Do I want to write an essay or do I feel my grades represent me enough?
