When my son took his unofficial at Stanford we found out that there is no break for athletes, they need to get in on their own merit and not even coaches can get them in for their sport. Stanford has lost some good athletes to USC because of this.



I presume that you are talking specifically about crew. For other sports, the picture is a bit different.



According to figures released by the NCAA for players who were in college in the late-90s thru mid-00s — the latest figures available (trust me: it hasn’t changed significantly) — here are the admissions figures for Duke and Stanford men’s basketball recruits:

Duke average GPA: 3.13
Stanford average GPA: 3.46

Duke average SAT: 968
Stanford average SAT: 1123
