I agree with Calmom regarding the 25%. To assume that the entire bottom of the class quartile on standardized testing are athletes or URMs is probably a false assumption. It also assumes that decisions are made entirely on statistics which we know is also a false assumption. To presume that 75% are better credentialed is also a false assumption since we know that success in a particular college is predicated on so much more than one (or two) sittings on a standardized test and this particular candidate has other statistics that are well above the 25th percentile. Good luck to the OP’s D!
