Hi,

I’m on a Varsity team at Cornell BUT I was NOT recruited, I was a walk-on, so obviously I can not speak to your question as to what admissions will or will not do.

However, I can tell you that as far as the coaches I know, they are VERY serious about athletes keeping up their grades.

I’ve been on the Dean’s list for the past two terms, but we do have a couple of guys on the team that took their class work too lightly and are now off the team and if they don’t get it together, they will probably be headed out of Cornell.

So just as an FYI, if you do get in and decide to attend Cornell, stay focused because they do not play!

Good luck to you! Cornell is an amazing school!
