[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 23897, member: 195"] I thought that I would add a couple more facts to dispel some of the myths that have shown-up in this thread. @[USER=789]LibertyTurns[/USER] your comment about Stanford's entrance requirement is not entirely true or is misleading. Stanford changed their approach to entrance requirements in 2007 or so. Stanford now has NO minimum requirements for GPA or Test Scores. Their entrance assessment for all students includes special talents or skills. In other words, if a football player can pass the NCAA requirements then they can get into Stanford. For a regular student who doesn't bring special talents, then yes their competition results in typically higher expectations than Tech's but you can't just apply that to actors, musicians, and athletes who go there. @[USER=670]Mack[/USER] the APR, academic progress rate, was introduced in 2004. Ross and O'leary, and even the first few years of Chan, etc that you mentioned didn't have that hurdle. Now, I don't know what our graduation rates were under those coaches but I recall there being some issue there. These two points come together in an important way. It's not just a matter of getting them in, it's also a matter of keeping them on track to graduate at a rate that's faster than a lot of regular Tech students. That's where Stanford being able to get more guys in and having more majors, courses for keeping them in is not insignificant. [/QUOTE]
