Caveat: Being an athlete that schools really want helps you get in with a relatively low GPA–so while it may be helpful to look at records of admittees who got in with seemingly low grades they may be offering a false sense of security–even schools that do not give athletic scholarships may be giving athletes who will help their teams a boost that carries a lot more weight than the GPA does–assuming adequate test scores and decent high school. keep in mind that development admits and possibly students who offer some degree of socioeconomic diversity may also skew the numbers lower than is realistic for a standard applicant.
