[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 49875, member: 77"] I'd like to see that, too. They're private and don't have to submit entrance requirements. My guess is they view football players like they do dancers and sculptors, they get special consideration do to a high degree of non-traditional "intelligence." Not only that, but they are the Mecca for the Nerd Athlete. GT is not, though it wants desperately to be. Stanford is even rated higher in our claim to fame, Engineering. More importantly are the degree field they offer not STEM related. Not every Nerd Athlete wants to be a scientist. And the ones that do, still get a great education at Stanford and all prestige that comes with it. My third point is one very often overlooked in the comparison. The key deterrent in who we can offer is our academic rigor. "Getting out" is way harder than "getting in." The coaches know this and it limits who they offer. A kid may have the scores and prereq's in place, but they don't have what it takes or don't [I]want to do [/I]what it takes to stay on track to graduate. We have two very recent examples to back this up. [/QUOTE]
