Admission for athletic recruits

[Anonymous]

Checkout this video at the seven minutes mark. He was the top three recruit, ranked #1 in the country at the age of eighteen. However, he couldn't get into Yale or UPenn due to his 1200 SAT score. Good enough to get into UVA. He left UVA after one year to go to UChicago.

I guess Yale and UPenn do want athletes who also have high SAT scores. Very revealing.

Schools want their students to have success. Using a kid for athletics who may not be able to hack it in the classroom doesn't serve anybody, mostly the student-athlete.

DS is being recruited by JHU. Was told by the coach that they want to see 1500/34 and top 10% of HS class.

Lol what a lie. He is not good enough to play at UVA that’s why hee playing D3

You must be an idiot. If you watch the video, he did play at UVA at the #5 and #6 position before he left.

Absolutely. They need to have the academic record and be a strong enough athletic talent to get recruited. Then admittance can be granted. Who knows why hitting a ball or scoring a goal is a deciding factor for higher education but it is. So if your supergeek can run really fast....exploit it.

And the writing was on the wall that he would never be any higher. All the UVA players are UTR 13

Stop spreading misinformation. Playing as s starter #5 or #6 is very good at UVA. Not everybody on the UVA roster is UTR 13. You can easily verify this on myutr.com. Most are 12 and a few 11 UTR

If he played basketball, football or baseball he would have gotten in to Yale.

First of all, the guy comes off as a real tool. Beyond that, you’re mixing apples and oranges. He got into UVA as the #1 ranked player coming out of high school - and ended up getting kicked off the team and deciding to transfer. It was only THEN that he looked at Yale and Penn. He says they told him that they couldn’t take him because of his SAT score, but that’s just him talking - my hunch is that neither school wanted to take the chance on him since he was kicked off of the UVA team. Had he applied to Yale or Penn as a high school senior, things very well could have been different.

OP is an idiot. The guy - and he’s a tool alright - makes perfectly clear that it wasn’t a situation where he applied to Yale, Penn and UVA in high school but his SAT score was only high enough for UVA. He also never said he got a 1200; he said a 1200 was the lowest score that UVA would allow.

The guy flamed out at UVA, had a reputation for being an a$$hole, and coaches talk. THAT’S why he couldn’t transfer to the Ivy League.

My current senior has friends who committed to NU and Princeton. They were given a minimum SAT score to meet in the range of 1350.

I can assure you there are plenty of tools that score over 1500 on the SAT.

Chicago has a transfer admission rate of 21% - they can't all be athletes. Wonder what's going on there.
