How much harder is it actually for an athlete to get into Notre Dame than...

You're kidding, right?

I'm not sure but I do know the Golic family was able to get in...

Higher than every school in the SEC other than vandy

Notre Dame than it is an SEC school? I never thought there was much of a difference.

roughly the same; for admission, ND does require a foreign language and calculus credit which i ASSUME most sec schools do not.

as far as GPA, ACT, SAT, etc...ND judges athletes on a sliding scale. in other words if you only had a 17 on your ACT but a 3.0 GPA that'd be enough to qualify and vice-versa.

listening to Cowherd?

No im not. Is he talking about it right now? I did hear him talking about it last week at one point and he kept harping on the type of athlete that SEC schools recruit could never get into Notre Dame. And i just dont think that's true.

Touchdown Jesus didn't want to give me enough scholarship money. Really solid reminder that Jesus was Jewish.

true, i figured most schools require a foreign language but the calculus i doubted...

the athlete unattainable to notre dame is the one from a low-income neighborhood, school district, who does not have an opportunity to take HS calculus. said athlete could take a summer calculus to qualify but few in that situation have the desire.

i dont think so.

I don't think Notre Dame takes 3.0 GPA students that got 620s on their SATs

we have the past two years; i will not name the players although one was a 4 star and one was a 5 star.

I mean D-1 School, I would assume they go by these minimum standards for their Football players and Basketball players (the two big sports that the nation cares about)

(Major FBS school with the exception of the Academics like Stanford, Duke, Northwestern etc)

These are the minimum standards according to the website

to sum it up these are the minimum standards for players trying to play a d-1 sport.

If you want to participate in athletics or receive an athletics scholarship during your first year, you must:
Graduate from high school;
Complete these 16 core courses:
4 years of English
3 years of math (algebra 1 or higher)
2 years of natural or physical science (including one year of lab science if offered by your high school)
1 extra year of English, math or natural or physical science
2 years of social science
4 years of extra core courses (from any category above, or foreign language, nondoctrinal religion or philosophy);
-Earn a minimum required grade-point average in your core courses; and
-Earn a combined SAT or ACT sum score that matches your corecourse grade-point average and test score sliding scale on page 9 (for example, a 2.400 core-course grade-point average needs an 860 SAT).
