<p>Bluebayou, I don’t think I am reinforcing your point. I think the prospective student’s prospects at those two data points is pretty grim- I do think Colgate is probably too big a reach and the applicant shouldn’t be all that encouraged. If Colgate published data for enrolled students, a prospective student looking at enrolled students’ data would be even more misled to think they have a better chance than they actually do. Again, I’m talking about the unhooked applicant. </p>
<p>Hudsonvalley, I don’t have a dog in this hunt either, and I’m certainly not anti-jock. I just don’t think that athletes’ GPA’s are higher at these schools. On a couple of teams, sure. I do agree that many of these athletes are as dedicated in the classroom as they are as athletes.</p>
