thestudents. The other aspect of this paper is to identify and suggest action plans to increase thenumber of underrepresented students who enter the COE. The concrete research question of thisstudy is: Can high school information for underrepresented students and their ACT scores beused to predict the student’s academic performance? We hypothesize that, academic performancefrom underrepresented high schools cannot alone be used to predict the performance of a student.A student’s success is determined on motivational and personal characteristics24. Admitting astudent based solely on the current criteria is not a good practice. In our study, an additionalquantitative factor, URS, will be introduced to assist in admitting underrepresented

They measure a sample of 40 parts and create a 95% confidence interval on the mean that spans from 97g to 101g.

Anotherreason to explicitly attend to these dimension, even while being unsure of our own footing onthese arguments, is that we feel not doing so would contribute to silencing (and hence,marginalizing) how gender, race, and public discourse play a role in the phenomenon we study ineducation research. In future work, we plan to collect demographic data which might help usrefine our claims. As initial explorations, the arguments presented in the paper are bound to haveinconsistencies and incompleteness. Acknowledging that, we humbly hope to pursue moredetailed analysis in future work.AcknowledgmentsWe thank the participants who
