TIL Richard Sherman made a 990 on the SAT (1600 scale)

Never thought to look it up before, but his name made headines again so I decided to google it. Right around the 50th percentile. Think he re-took it and broke 1,000, but still pretty striking, assuming the internet is right.

He plays football good so that score gets you into Stanford.

The admission standards are adjusted for athletes.

Dont believe that is the case for Stanford.

I think the guy who took the test for him got 1000.
Sherman himself appears to have a tenuous grasp with reality given a few incidents of him claiming shite that never happened.

You couldn't get into USC or UCLA with that score regardless if you were an awesome athlete.
Anything below 1,000 was considered unacceptable.
I think USC/UCLA were the only Pac schools that never accepted Prop 48 students; Cal did, Stanford did. That sliding scale was just basically an excuse to admit athletes who basically failed the SATs but got B's and C's at failed schools who just passed everyone to maintain their graduation rate and State funding.
And once you get into Stanford, they don't let you fail. It boosts their academic rankings. It's impossible to get below a C at Stanford.

skips past the sources saying anywhere from
1090 and up to various forum sites with no links claiming 990.
Post your sourcing.

I think Harbaugh insisted they lower it some when he was there. Otherwise they’d pull even less talent that they do and make it harder to compete in a P5 conference.
Many of these athletes are already pretty competitive academically, it’s just that playing a sport pushed them over the top to get in. Now this doesn’t mean they adjust the standards.

No doubt. And aside from that lame Skip Bayless debate he had several years back, I'm not going to criticize him for it, or his seizing his opportunities, given his upbringing. But the way the media and many on here portray him, you'd think he was Myron Rolle or something.

It definitely is. Someone from my HS back in the day made a 27 on the ACT and played there.
Posted on 10/8/19 at 11:27 pm to Lou Pai
Yeah back when Richard Sherman was acting like an arse on the reg with the Seahawks people here acted like it meant something that he went to Stanford.

Absolutely it is.

A 27 on the ACT is comparable to what on an SAT? 1100 or so?
Posted on 10/8/19 at 11:30 pm to teke184
Not sure, maybe a little higher? 27 isn't some idiot score but you need to be in the high 90 percentiles if you don't play sports.

The same USC that was caught in the cheating scandal?
As for SAT scores, in 08 the average at UCLA was 990. It was 955 for USC football.
Don’t you ever get tired of looking stupid?

Stanford wouldn't be able to field a team otherwise.
The average scores at Stanford are around 1500/34 sat/act. Good football players can probably get in with 1200/26.

A 27 is a 1300
A 990 on the SAT is a 19
A 990 on the SAT is a 19
