Once you earn an undergraduate degree from Princeton, National Honor Society probably falls off your resume.

And once he has a degree from Tech, Princeton will fall off his resume as well. Welcome!

I was embellishing somewhat myself. I don’t think he went to class that much either. I guess it’s like a lot of places if you try and the money keeps flowing in they will work with you.

You kind of missed my intended message. Yes, totally agree that Ivies coddle their students via grade inflation, etc. and that by far the hardest part of the process is just getting into the school. However, what I meant was that all Ivy League student-athletes are real students that had to qualify academically for the school. Compare that to nearly 100% of the other D1 schools out there where there is a significant drop in quality of students of the athletes compared to the general student body. Even with GT's strict guidelines, the athletes are not the same level as the general student body.

IDK, we have one poster, who seems to have disappeared, who claimed he was offered an Ivy athletic scholarship, but turned it down for Carson Newman.

Don't remember which poster it was.

Ivy League athletes are also supposed to be held to the same academic standard as non athletes… except that they’re not. That’s why Harvard (fencing) and Yale (water polo) coaches took bribes in the Varsity Blues Scandal to get students admitted who otherwise weren’t qualified.

Ivy League schools offer grants and as a result very few college football recruits need a scholarship. As an example, a family that makes $150k per year gets a 90% grant at Harvard.

I did. I was solely interested in knocking the Ivies.

like I said, knocking the ivies

They are the end all. be all, but it is harder to get in than get out as they say. They are also why we have so much öööö "leadership" in the country.

It’s really not that hard to get in, it just depends on the program. UPenn, Columbia, and Brown have entirely online masters degrees now. Harvard has degrees with over 50% admission rate.

1. Football players don't take online masters degrees.

2. What degrees at Harvard have that, how many students does that program admit each year and what are the supplemental application requirements? Even the music program at Harvard doesn't have a separate admission process from Harvard College. So let's hear it. I'm 99% sure you're just making stuff up to support a stupid first sentence.

Can they (actual question, not rhetorical)? Tech now has 10,000 entirely online master's students between OMSA, OMSCS, and Cyber Security. Some of those are full-time. Is there a residency requirement for athletics? I've never seen it happen so I don't think it's allowed, but is there any actual rule against it?

Every School at Harvard (there are 13 degree granting schools that make up Harvard University) has a different admission process. There is 1 undergraduate school (Harvard College) and 12 graduate schools. Harvard College typically has a 2-5% admission rate and is what people think about when they think of "oh my god, Harvard"). Similarly, Harvard Medical School, Harvard Business School, and Harvard Law School are highly desirable programs with low admission rates.

Then you get to the other 9 schools of Harvard. For example, the Harvard Graduate School of Education has a 54% admission rate for Master of Education (https://www.petersons.com/graduate-...sters-programs-in-education-000_10035777.aspx). The Harvard Kennedy School of Government is also considered to be easy on admission as long as you can pay (https://www.petersons.com/graduate-...am-in-public-administration-000_10030166.aspx MPA has a 56% admission rate) - the joke is that those with political ambition who attended a lowly public school can "crimson wash" their resume by spending 1 year on Harvard's campus there. The Harvard Divinity School supposedly has such a high admission rate for the Master of Theology degree that Harvard won't post it. Other programs vary. Generally PhD and research master's are difficult on admission, taught master's are much easier on admission if they're not from one of the marquee schools.
