[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]lower scores for a subset of admits like athletes and donors hardly moves the needle in medium and large schools. Princeton can easily handle a few dozen 1200s/1300s in a class of 1500 kids and still come out with impressive looking stats. This is not as true for SLACs where half the admits are hooked in one way or another[/quote] The athletes at Vandy, Duke etc are 920-1000 at best. Not 1200/1300.[/quote] Princeton can draw athletes from kids in the mid-1400+ range. They will not dip too low on grades and test scores because they don’t have to. Classes are not adjusted in difficulty for athletes and the last few years, they’ve had problems with kids admitted under the test optional regime not being able to handle the work. Princeton does want an ongoing rise in attrition. Significant donors can afford to tutor and prep their kids to decent grades and test scores. [/quote]
