Admissions rates for athletes should be much higher, because they are pre-selected. They're mostly recruits, so the admit vs. reject equation has already been settled in so many cases. If there was a pre-read process for NARPs at places like HYP, I would think that the admission rate would go up substantially - because the marginal/long shot candidates would be weeded out prior to the application process.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The published admissions and selectivity rates are based on those that actually apply. there are also countless students that don't apply because they know they can't get in. This applies to both sports and academics.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
I agree with the prior poster that for schools like UNC or UVA it is harder to get recruited as a women's soccer player than it is to get admitted as a out-of-state applicant. Therefore the proverbial bar is actually higher for athletes.Comment

Look at the test score and GPA distribution for athletes vs regular admits.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Yes Capt Obvious those are the factors that contribute to the Academic dimension of admissions. Are you so simple that you think college admissions is one dimensional?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Written by a disgruntled "three-sport athlete" who wasn't good enough to get recruited and then got bumped as the coxswain from the rowing team when an actual rower took her spot. Always consider the source...Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Coming in late to this, but I'm with the OP and others. Athletic scholarships SHOULD be athletic based. The only problem we have is the way they were divided/allotted to teams in a disproportionate way. Anyone looking at the division can clearly see where the lines were drawn. Affluent sports got high percentages or headcount, less affluent got about half or less. These are all sports that don't bring in revenue. Seems they should at least be the same percentage of the team. Power five conference teams can afford to give full scholarships to all sports, others obviously can't. Maybe scholarship numbers should be decided by conference.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

You know who definitely dislikes athletes - many students who got in on their own merits while lesser applicants got in because they're athletes. Students also aren't always happy that a portion of their fees go to supporting non profitable athletic programs. Yes I know school funding is more complex than that, but try telling that to kids struggling to pay for schoolComment
