[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]27 I get - you have to be a very strong athlete to compete at an Ivy. Most varsity team captains aren’t Ivy level athletes. I also know someone who earned a 21 or 22 on the ACT who played on Northwestern’s women’s lacrosse team, so I’m not surprised. [/quote]

That I don't believe.  Northwestern holds their athletes to much higher academic standards than most schools [/quote]

Sorry. UF they are BG10. I personally know an athlete who didn’t get the score needed at Yale and ended up at Northwestern.[/quote]

Yes they are BG10, but they traditionally have held their athletes to much higher standards.  Just look at their football team and their majors while at NU. Sure some take the traditional "Communications" as an easy major, but plenty are in tough majors and doing well.  Many get their MS while using up their eligibility (especially if they were red shirted for a year or 2)

But no, they are not comparable to Ohio State athletes who barely graduate HS sometimes.
