(who posted that?) Cheers from this quarter as well. Academic evaluations are too often based on oversimplified, purely quantitative methods (like SAT tests, for instance). However, <SOAPBOX MODE ON> special cheers to using an Open Door policy for all students-- not only those in a position to help your athletic program. And special kudos to a school that would overtly espouse such an Open Door policy, rather than simply formulating their own personal interpretations and translations of other schools' grading systems to justify your own aims. <SOAPBOX MODE OFF>.
