<p>Warblersrule – I have no doubt that a majority of athletes in the “money sports” fall in the bottom 25%. How many people would that be, however? Duke enrolls approximately 1,400 freshmen each year. If you take into consideration the freshmen basketball, football, lacrosse and baseball (M+F) you are looking at maybe 150 kids? I’m sure some of the athletic scholarship admits have tests scores within the middle 50%, particularly among the female athletes. </p>
<p>By my calculations athletes might account for 30% of the bottom 25%. URMs, developmental admits account for ?%. But then there is an unknown percentage of kids who just got lucky.</p>
