Baylor: Accepted
Texas A&M: Accepted

Those are the only two I applied for. Majoring in Kinesiology/Excercise and Sports Sciences. I might minor, but haven't decided. At Baylor, their graduate program is sponsored by the Army, so you have to enlist in order to be accepted...and I don't know how I feel about that

On a different note, I totally respect CalTech for devoting themselves to admitting only the best academically qualified students. They do not have affirmative action as they simply just want the best mathematical/scientific students; as a result you have more Asians + Minority combined than Whites on campus. Maybe liberal arts schools such as Harvard can publicly state that they value diversity but I feel such a technologically focused school such as CalTech and MIT should try to incorporate the best students as possible in their field. So props to CalTech for sticking to their mission.


This is such a poorly understood concept that I think you probably shouldn't comment without some knowledge. I went to Caltech and they definitely don't lower their admission standards, but they definitely value diversity and make huge efforts to create as diverse of an undergrad population as they can. You might be asking "well, don't these things come into conflict".

No, they don't. There are all kinds of things you can do other than lower your admission standards other than lower standards. For example:
- For many years female students and minority students had their pre-frosh visiting weekends covered by the university (this is only for students that have already been accepted).
- They also in the past have had one of the top need-based financial aid programs in the country (irrespective of race / gender).
- They have resources available to deal with the unique issues of being a minority student or a female student at a university that does not have as many minorities / women.
- They spend an effort recruiting female / minority applicants to apply.

I should also mention that all of these things benefit everybody at the university and further the university's goals. The university also has a high percentage of international students and having such diverse perspectives available to students improves the educational experience for everybody.

Edit: I should say that also, lowering Caltech's admission standards wouldn't help anyways because unlike some other "selective" schools, Caltech is incredibly demanding of even the nations top top students (plenty of intel semi-finalists, national merit finalists, etc. have flamed out after less than a year and transferred elsewhere). I think there are probably only 2 or 3 other schools where the entire undergraduate population is put through such a demanding workload. Even very few top engineering and science programs are as demanding.
I always try to shield slam face, just to make sure it doesnt work

I'm Canadian I never went through this whole process. I never have written an SAT. I just graduated from my highschool and got accepted to the one university I applied to which is the University of Manitoba and the school I wanted to go into, quite easily actually.

Does your undergraduate degree really matter that much on what school you go to for Americans? Some of you seem to be acting like your whole life depends on what college you get accepted to. Undergraduate degrees are easy to get so I'm confused as to why you guys care this much. Wouldn't you be more concerned about where you go after your undergraduate degree?

Going to a good college is like... instant credibility in the job market (and also makes it easier to get into a really good graduate school).

Either that or you're seeing posts from Asians.

So I think more than being a smart athlete, you just have to be smart and have some kind of extra edge to get in. Just being smart isn't enough :/
