<p>so at my school, theres a football player with a 3.5 gpa, never taken an honors class, 1150 sats, but claims hes going to WHARTON. they're recruiting him, i've even seen the personal letters to him. i know lifes not fair, but please, this seems outrageously ridiculous to me at least. does this bother anyone else?</p>
<p>talent isnt always academically</p>
<p>He's probably bringing in more revenue to the school than another person that would have been admitted instead.</p>
<p>Thank god there are football players here to take up the bottom of the curve</p>
<p>I'd rather take the bottom of the curve, k thanks XD
But yeah, his stats aren't that bad. Wharton may be excessive, but who knows - he could have a lot of charisma and charm, and that's more important in business than just brains.</p>
<p>generally speaking, athletes get recruited to <em>penn</em>, and the athlete gets to choose their school of enrollment</p>
