    If you think God is telling you to decommit from Stanford so you can get a better look at Wazzu, kill yourself.

    I can't improve on this, so I won't bother trying.

    From what I've read, he could have easily gotten into Stanford. It's more about the Tree not having room for him.

    My man, do some research. Nobody "easily" gets into Stanford. You can pop a perfect score on the SAT (thereby putting you objectively in the top 1% nationally) and be valedictorian on a transcript of classes that only smart kids take, and have cured a disease and built a system for running water for a village in Nicaragua, all that, and still not get in.

    And anybody who knows their shit will tell you what I wrote is correct. Furd is one of the toughest schools to get into period. It's harder than all but two of the Ivy League schools. EVERYONE wants to go there.

    There are more brilliant kids than there is space. That's just the deal. They're in their own league.

    What makes them unique among schools in their class is that they are a real division 1 program. If that kid decom'd to consider my alma mater and Wazzu because he's hearing voices, someone needs to check him in to a hospital. They have medicine for that.
    I wonder how many of the football players got perfect scores on their SAT's and were valedictorians in their respective classes? I am sure they were all reading Being and Time in high school and were taking courses in real analysis at their local university.

    I hope this is not serious.

    For you two dumb fucks, of course I was not referring to a recruit. But Stanford turns down kids with at or near perfect scores routinely. The rest is for color, but the point is, getting in there is like getting into Harvard.

    And even recruits don't easily walk in. But of course it's a much different achievement with sports, especially football.

    Likely zero. Referring to admissions generally. 5% or lower admit rate. UW hovers in the mid 50% range with a less talented applicant pool.

    Think about it.

    But @Bannansandblonds was saying that as a football player he could have gotten in, since you don't need perfect SAT's nor grades to get in as a football player. Also, why would I think about UW's admission rate? I didn't go there. I went to a school that had nearly an 85% and was the only school I applied to or wanted to go to. A low acceptance rate and only accepting people with perfect SAT scores and GPA's does not necessarily mean that a university is good nor that the people who go there are very intelligent.
