Someone’s pipe dream. Where’s Cornell and Stanford???
Stevens and Rensselaer aren’t on that list? Nor are the Massachusetts and California Institutes of Technology (MIT and CalTech, respectively)?
Hm. The geeks’ performance in the non-STEM parts of the testing must drag their numbers down.
These are only schools in the actual NCAA basketball tournament.
I was going to save this but this is as good a place as any;

Bob.
Makes sense that after almost 40 years the University of Chicago is finally including me in their results, knocking them out of the top ten.
Finally out of the closet.
Need to read prior to commenting..but guess all makes sense
What bullshit.
Those may be the school averages as a whole, but if you took the SATs of the players, they would be around 1200 (the lowest score possible). Actually, the top 6 or so would have reasonable scores, but not nearly as high as their average student body. And they would likely have a few white players on their squads that actually may get to play.
And then there are the UNCs of the world, which runs a special kindergarten just for its athletes, who otherwise are incapable of achieving passing grades. African-American Studies, anyone?
Teams like Kentucky, etc. tend to keep some white boys on the squad because they need to maintain certain team GPAs. Those white boys allow the teams to exist. They keep the grades up, but generally do not get to play.
I got a “C” in a class at FSU but I was expecting an “A” so I asked the professor why. He said: “I can’t give everybody an “A”; you support the football team don’t you?”
Since when you score above 1600? When I took the SAT the top score was 1600 and below 800 was hard to get although I’m sure some black basketball players could manage.
Billd – there are three eight hundred point sections now.
I am trying to think of a current Harvard graduate who isn’t evil. Can anyone help me?
