<p>The phrase “varsity athlete” means different thinks to people at different schools. It’s like the phrase “high school graduate”. There’s a big difference between a high school graduate with a 2.5 GPA and one with a 4.0 GPA. But they’re both still high school graduates.</p>
<p>A better question is how many of the 2100+ SATs and 3.6+ GPAs are good enough athletes to not only play basketball (let’s say) for Stanford, but to be actively recruited by Stanford?</p>
