What about other sports? I am not familiar with non-basketball and non-football sports recruiting, but from what I read on this message board and on Stanford's webpage, we are doing decently well in sports like volleyball, tennis, etc. But I have no basis in comparison, so I could be totally off the mark.
It would be sad if the women's basketball team's long-running success ends because of these unreasonable admissions standards. I am all for the high standards of admitting the best and brightest, but this seems beyond fair reason.
I know the acceptance rate has dropped because more students are applying, but is that because there are more potential applicants that have a chance to get in to choose from now as from 10-20 years ago (i.e. 20 years ago, there was 6,000 4.0 GPA/1600 SAT high school seniors and now there are 12,000 4.0 GPA/2400 SAT seniors?)
