[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 737230, member: 198"] I think the Admissions people know what schools inflate grades and which don't. I also think that there are enough data other than standardized test scores to adequately predict whether someone will be successful at Tech. Let's be frank; a very small subset of our student-athletes would be accepted to Tech if they had to compete head-to-head with other applicants. That doesn't mean they're not capable of being successful at Tech, just that their academic record is generally not as robust as the average Tech acceptee. When I was at Tech, our football team's graduation rate was over twice the general student population graduation rate. That has changed now, but that's not because of the football players' graduation rate going down, the general population's rate almost tripled. I believe the numbers back that up. In 2008, Georgia Tech had the highest SAT average of any BCS football team at 1028. That year, that score was 315 points below the general student population average. I believe GT also had one of the highest graduation rates for our football players too. If the kids want to work, they can make it. Standardized tests are one metric that helps Admissions determine whether someone can be successful here, but it is not absolutely necessary nor is it necessarily the best way to evaluate potential students.
