[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that Stanford, more so than the ivies or other top school like MIT, are more into one particular passion/talent to the exclusion of academics. For example, an amazing athlete is more likely to be able to get into Stanford when they could never get into Harvard if they had sub-par academics. I think at the ivies, you have to assume that even athletes or others with special talents are still top students. Not so at Stanford. [/quote] Scholarship v non scholarship. Ivies don't do athletic scholarships and don't emphasize sports as much. It creates a different dynamic between the athletes and the school. Plus the Ivy League is not the PAC-12. MIT is division 3 so not a comparable at all. [/quote] There are no Ivy athletic scholarships, but there is a different academic bar for admitted athletes. [/quote]
