<p>@codexsplande, clearly you began this thread with the hopes of consolidating yourself, and confirming your personal views on your brothers rejection. I am not “polite” on this website, nor am I “rude.” I tell others my views and opinions when they ask for them. Your brother was rejected by CU. That is the situation. You can go through life with the idea that everyone is out to get you and him, or you can accept failure when it comes. Failure is a part of life, and denying it gets you no where. I apologize for not writing some la-di-da post about how CU is “crazy” and that they “made a mistake.” In my opinion, they rarely do. They accepted nearly 90% of applicants, but did not accept your brother. I of course have no idea of the circumstances of your brother’s dropping out of high school, but a GED is not a high school diploma. Metro, UCD and Regis are not the same as CU. They are not even in the same ballpark of reputability. If I am rejected from my top school in December I will accept it and move on. I will upset, angry and likely sad for some time, but I will NOT blame others, I will NOT accuse them of being foolish and crazy. And of course my example had nothing to do with this situation… it’s called a simile or metaphor. </p>
