[quote=Anonymous][quote=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.[/quote]

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.  [/quote]
