<p>Well that describes me, which is why I’m taking it personally. I dont think it’s anyone’s business how I act/sound/etc. in class.</p>
<p>In class. On the bus. On the street.</p>
<p>…What…?</p>
<p>This is something that has been *<em>*ing me off for a while now…students sit there and bust their a</em> doing all that they can do to get into their dream schools and they don’t because which I think is B.S because just because they are good at a sport doesn’t mean that they should be able to get into competitive schools with only like a 2. Something GPA I think that if a school wants to grant an athlete admission to their school the athlete should have at least have a 3.0 GPA which is not hard to get and be a well rounded student because it’s not fair and if I could I would make a complaint about and they should make it a law because it makes no sense that students that are actually pasionate about the school and have all the criteria needed for admission are not able to get in for whatever reason but an athlete with a 2.5 GPA is just because he or she is good at a sport it makes absolutely no sense at all and it’s really unfair</p>
<p>Eh, doesn’t bother me.
Who am I to judge anyone’s academic ability–particularly based on a few collective moments of interaction with that person?</p>
<p>Frankly, I just don’t give a damn.</p>

<p>Michigan, Boston College, North Carolina are the only top schools that I know of that take really underqualified student-athletes. I can assure you that the super elite schools do not do this. I know that when I was at BU, one of the hockey players wanted to play at Harvard out of high school, but his SAT score was like 40 points below what he needed and they wouldn’t take him.</p>

<p>a lot of schools don’t take athletes like that. Of course, the big sports schools do. And it’s because tens of thousands of people pay money to the school because that kid is there. Because that kid is entertaining.</p>
