<p>If Redick had taken the premed courses and the MCAT and done research and clinical exposure, I would suspect that his DI experiences would be worth at least several index points*. Off the top of my head, I'd say it's probably in the five to seven range. His essays and interviews could talk extensively about leadership, pressure, teamwork, mentoring, etc.</p>
<p>I'd say most DI athletes probably take a harder hit to their overall application than their DI status is worth, but that's not always true and it's certainly not true of a Final Four basketball athlete.</p>
<p>BRM -- thoughts?</p>
<p>(1 index point = 1 MCAT point or .1 GPA points.)</p>
