So, let me get this straight, Major Applewhite wants to be a doctor and has another year of eligibility and has a decent GPA but he bombed on his MCAT's and could get into Juarez Medical School, but not UT, so UT medical school would let him in so that he could play football at UT another year? I don't think so, nor would UT law school. Top 10 programs are Top 10 because they can be selective. Darden is a fine Business School and probably as good as SMU, but they have a different focus than SMU. UVa is far from most business centers (at least two and a half hours), so the school must focus on resident students (Lee Raker, Ralph Sampson's teammate, went there for his fifth year of eligibility). SMU on the other hand is in a major metropolitan area and its student population for MBAs comes from local businesses. Thus the requirements must meet the school's business plan.
