[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of a HYP student athlete here.  When my son went through the recruiting process he was offered likely letters/admissions support at several UAA schools, including WashU, UChicago and Emory.  The UAA absolutely gives preference to top student athletes. So does the NESCAC. Division III recruits athletes.  Many have student bodies that are 30%+ student athletes.

And the Ivy League is absolutely an athletic conference.  But the comment that there is no merit-based criteria for admissions is 100% false.  Look into the academic index agreement between the schools.  It's math.

I’m not here to defend student athletes and admissions preferences but some of the “facts” stated here are flat out wrong.  Seems folks make stuff up to just get others angry.

This is true but Athletes at D3 schools have much higher stats than there D1 counterparts. I have a feeling Vandy football or Duke basketball players, don't want to compete with Emory basketball players in the classroom. [/quote]
