[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems that the point of this thread is to convince people on this forum that athletes have to meet similar admissions standards to non-athletes and that is just not the case. What matters is 
1. your athletic ability (however the coach of your sport is defining that)
2. GPA and SAT, inversely correlated to your athletic ability (i.e. better athletic ability means lower GPA/SAT requirement).
This is it. This is the entire formula and anyone who has gone through the process knows it.[/quote]
With some luck and timing thrown in if you're talking about a sport that has multiple positions. For example, for football, did they have several star WRs just graduate? Do they lack depth in the QB lineup? Do they need more size on the line that year, or do they need someone who is faster? Same with baseball.[/quote]

Definitely true, and that's a part of 1 - "ability" means the time/stats/positions they are looking for that year. There's no secret or magic to it, the coaches are immediately upfront with the kids who reach out to them.[/quote]
