<p>Firstly, you cannot receive a 35 on the ACT writing, only the combined English and writing. Now, while it is easy to sit from your vantage point and make an argument he should have been accepted, you have to consider what colleges like CU often look for. It is a very easy school to get into, for students who HAVE completed high school. While it is a GED “friendly” school, that does not mean a GED is the same as a high school diploma. I don’t believe someone who receives only a GED should be able to graduate from a 4-year college, and it seems the CU admissions department agrees with me. </p>
