Wouldn't be TOO hard on a 4.0 and a athletic honors from a tier II acdemic school...
Have been told by graduate schools that a DI athlete who holds a very high GPA commands respect with graduate schools simply becasue they have exhibited an ablity to hold downa full time job (baseball) and still excel as a full time student, manage time, team skills, self discpline, priorities, 60-80 hour weeks...in other words they have earned respect.
Sort of the same argument for public vs. private high schools. Is it better to have a 3.2 from a high end academic and $80K in fees or a 4.2 from a good public and have some college tuition in the bank?
