[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 202244, member: 195"] What is it with the need of some people to create straw men to argue against? I did not crap on Stanford and did not say they had an arbitrary admission standards to suit their needs. LOL when posting facts from their website and reports from their coaches is seen as crapping on them. They have a subjective admission standard that can take other things into account. Their own coaches say that more athletes were able to get in after Richard Shaw became Dean of admissions, and the football record began to improve coincidentally. That's not saying that their admission standard is Alabama, but let's not pretend it's meaningless either. Stanford's regular undergraduate admissions has NO REQUIRED COURSES in High School. Here's their [URL='http://admission.stanford.edu/basics/selection/prepare.html']web-page[/URL]. The exact quote is: "We respect the responsibility that high schools, principals and teachers should have in the development of courses and curricula for their students. For that reason, we do not have a set of required courses for admission to Stanford." So, the suggestion that the athletes are required to take AP courses as a rule is just wrong. What Stanford does, to their credit, is assist athletes in advance do what they would need to do to improve their admissions application. However, the fact remains that this is all part of a subjective process. [/QUOTE]
