If Academics was like Athletics


Mankato, Minn - Minnesota State University, Mankato, a member of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system is proud to announce their academic signing class for the 2011-2012 school year. MSU's Director of Admissions announced Friday that High School prospects Jennifer Lawson, Greg Yari, and Cole Williams have signed national letters of intent to attend school at MSU this fall.

"This is an amazing recruiting class for us. All three kids were valedictorians at their school" said MSU's Director of Admissions. "The combined ACT scores for these kids is 102! Did you hear that? 102!"

Lawson, a 5-foot-4-inch, 110-pound biology major comes to MSU from Duluth, Minnesota. Jennifer lead all recruits with a 35 on her ACT to compliment her 4.0 GPA. Jennifer showed her leadership as president and lone participants of her schools science club, and horse club . She was also student body president, voted smartest, most likely to succeed, and having the weirdest laugh by her peers at East Senior High School.

The Associate Director of admissions decided to talk a little smack to the University of Minnesota Duluth after stealing the hometown favorite away. "SUCK IT UMD! Sure, you won National Championships in football and hockey, but who even cares about sports? Nerds Rule! Jocks Drool!"

Yari - a 5-foot-7-inch, 250-pound economics major comes to MSU from Sioux Falls, SD. Posting a solid 34 ACT score to compliment his 4.0 GPA, Yari had also done some pioneering work in supply and demand theory throughout high school.

"I proved that at Roosevelt High School, despite a low number of guys compared to girls, there remained a low demand for me at prom" said Yari of his work. "I found this perplexing. I'm sure ladies at MSU won't be able to get enough of the Yarinator"

Williams a 6-foot-5-inch 175-pound engineering major is a Mankato, MN native. His seller 33 ACT along with his 4.0 GPA made him a great get for MSU, but it was his community service that made this student an All-star.

"I am a mathlete myself and know the importance of training" said Williams. "That's why I volunteer as a spotter at Mankato's Mathnasium. You hate to see young mathletes ruin a promising career by injuring themselves. I saw a kid tear up his quadratic equation once, it was sad, he never competed again. That's why I volunteer."

"Our goal is a National Championship" concluded the Director of Admissions. "We took a big step in making that happen today."
