<p>Put another way, if you’re a motivated student, and your dream is to go to the University of Michigan, only to be rejected from that and every other college because some mathematical model had “predicted,” based on social factors and which high school you had the misfortune to attend, that you would be unmotivated. For most people, that “prediction” is probably no consolation whatsoever. All you’ll care about is that while you had academic stats aligned with what UM otherwise regularly accepts, and you would have studied hard at UM, they didn’t even give you the chance because they offered the seat to somebody with okay stats, but not quite as good as yours, who went a school with a better motivation prediction profile.</p>
