[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ You are so insecure. Nothing in PP’s post suggested athletes are not academically qualified.  PP is correct that there is a HUGE divide at Amherst between athletes and non-athletes - it has a reputation for being the most divided campus socially in the NESCAC for this reason.[/quote]

No, not insecure at all. Simply pointing out the misconceptions in PP's post if you had read it. I would suggest you are the one who is insecure or have problems with reading comprehension. [/quote]

something like 80% of the kids who apply to these schools are academically qualified. their own admissions people say this.  harvard says 90%.  so when people say, "but the athletes are academically qualified!" it's 100% meaningless.  they got in bcs they're good at x sport.  that's it. [/quote]

You will never see a Varsity Blues-type scandal at any NESCAC school like what happened at Yale, Stanford, USC, Georgetown, etc. There are many more "dumb jocks" at Harvard percentage-wise as they need to do well in the Ivy League athletic conference! There is no such thing as a likely letter (essentially guaranteed admit) at NESCAC as they have at Harvard.[/quote]
