Undergraduate and transfer student applicants must rank in the top 25 percent of their college and incoming freshmen must rank in the upper 25 percent of their incoming class. Graduate and professional students must be in good academic standing.
Students must also have demonstrated “special athletic ability” in an amateur sport and their participation must have been for personal development rather than as preparation for professional athletics.
