Isn’t that discrimination?
OTOH, George Washington University is a for-profit organization. So, the cynical side of me days that maybe they are doing this as a way of simultaneously pulling in a semester or two of tuition and fees from the most gullible segment the population while still getting PC brownie points for admitting a more "diverse" student body. Now that I think of it that way, I almost have to applaud their policy change.
“Otherwise strong”? Perhaps it means the student can lift heavy objects.
Oops. My boo boo. Thanks
Both schools apparently in the gutter
The only important doc for admission to GW is the student’s parents’ financials!
