Im sorry if I made it seem as if I was trying to imply that athletes were somehow inferior students. I was indirectly comparing WashU to a school like Duke. Duke is a top school with great students, however, in my opinion, it is just too sports driven and too much emphasis is put on the athletes (with respect to the social scene). Again, I didn’t mean to imply anything about athletes as students at WashU, but simply to echo that I didn’t think students @ WashU really cared who played sports and who didn’t because they cared about other types of activities, in no way did I mean to offend you or your daughter and i offer my sincerest apologies if I did.
