I'm not arguing that test scores don't mean anything in themselves, especially the subject matter tests (SAT II's I believe they were called in my day), I just don't think raising your score through multiple takings is indicative of being better prepared for a Stanford class schedule. The objective of holding athletes to a high bar is not to puff up the GPAs and test scores for our recruiting class. Rather, it is to identify which of them can participate fully in the academic life of everyday students. Or, at least I hope that's what they're trying to do.

FWIW, I doubt Barry Sanders had a problem finding additional honors courses at Heritage Hall.

Can we take our finals over until we like our score?  ;D
