[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1012966, member: 7261"] I don't know why they can't create a 2nd tiered application for High School students to use, when applying for admission to the UW. When an institution that survives on both academics and athletics only uses academics as an admission qualifier, it is just blindly stupid. Kids wanting to enroll into the UW's education and higher learning aspect get in because of what they did academically in High School or at another college. Kids wanting to come here to pursue a career in sports, should be able to present an application that shows the UW how valuable they are as an athlete. There are plenty of ways students in both of those tiers can be satisfied at a large university like UW Madison. Programs/classes can be tailored to fit each type of student. Why should a person who wants to pursue a career in Football, be a square peg, trying to be fit in a round hole? Set up classes that work with their career goals. Too often you see athletes being slotted into some oddball "major", because this is a program that is easy to stay qualified, academically in. Yes, this would probably improve the "athletes" that come to Wisconsin, but it also would make it front and center for the athletes, that are coming here to be educated in the field that they want to pursue. Allowing them to take courses that prepare them for life as an athlete or life as an athlete, who's career ended in college. [/QUOTE]
