Kind of odd question about admissions

B&P; I can’t disagree with you. It is quite possible to recruit athletes who may not have had as high numbers. My point was that they did meet the minimum requirements.

having said that, both I and my son were glad that he received his appointment early; 1st of November; prior to the end of the football season and prior to the football programs doing any serious talking about being recruited. He can honestly say that he got his appointment based 100% on his application and academics. Now, after receiving the appointment, getting recruited was a plus. Plus, it’s better for the academy because they don’t have to worry about whether or a not a recruit can get an appointment.

But I do agree that it is possible to recruit athletes that may not be as strong academically. But either way, the recruited athlete is not getting in with a 21 ACT and such. They did have to meet the minimum requirements and standards.
