[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 922913, member: 198"] The NCAA has a minimum GPA and SAT/ACT score to pass through the NCAA Clearinghouse. Georgia Tech's requirements are higher than these minimum standards. Both the NCAA requirements and GT student-athletes' requirements are significantly lower than the minimum (there really aren't minimum requirements, but there are scores and grades necessary to get in) requirements for a standard Tech undergraduate. While many schools mimic the NCAA requirements as their minimum requirements, GT does not and has higher requirements. The coach can go to the President's Office and and ask for an exception to the GT requirements for an individual that is above the NCAA requirement but below the GT requirement. Typically, we don't have many of those exceptions. Essentially 100% of the scholarship football and men's basketball players are standard student exceptions but not GT Student-Athlete exceptions. GT PWO athletes also fall into the lower category to get accepted even though they're not on scholarship. PWO is a great way to get into GT if you are borderline for GT academics but can play ball and want to go to GT. I thought you were connected enough with the student-athletes at GT to know this stuff. Maybe you're just trolling me. [/QUOTE]
