You do realize their football players are not held to the same standard as other applicants, right? It's not as low of a threshold as other schools, but it's been shown that many of their football students are in the bottom 5-10% of their student base in almost every category (standardized tests, GPA, etc.) LINK

quote:Absolutely not. Not even remotely close. The average score for reported football players was a 26. It is safe to assume those that do well are the ones publicly reporting their ACT scores. I would imagine the average scholarship football player at Stanfords ACT score is about a 22-24

No one has said they're not smart. That doesn't make it any less accurate that they're "not lowering their standards for athletes".
In 2015, Stanford accepted approximately 12.5% (~250) of their incoming students with ACT scores between 18-29. Again, a reasonable person can assume that *most* of their athletes are going to be outliers on the scores here, and as another poster mentioned, their *average* reported ACT score was only a 26, putting approximately half of them below or at that number (depending on range and max/min across scores).
