[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see that at an MIT - not really an athletic powerhouse, but Stanford? D1 schools? Interesting. [/quote]

Stanford, Duke they are certainly relaxing the academic standards for some of their recruited athletes.

Ivies relax them too, but the overall recruiting class needs to be somewhat in line with the student body as a whole. So the goal numbers might be 1400 instead of 1550 to clear the hurdle as a recruited athlete. If you google ivy academic index you can read more about this mystery way they make these calculations

High academic D3 typically don’t have much wiggle room except for 1 or 2 athletes per sport.

Overall we’ve seen kids end up at an academic fit (except for the high academic P4 schools). [/quote]

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, I know a recruited athlete at Yale who got a 1300 on their SATs, the mom told me herself.[/quote]

I know one who made 1120
But it was 25 years ago [/quote]
