That is for regular students. For football players there are different numbers. No idea on bammer but it was 16 a few years ago at AU. If a regular student applied with that the Admissions office would enjoy the laugh and appreciate the application fee.
I didn't see where athletes were specified. OOS students have an advantage also.
There are also circumstances where a low score teamed with a lower GPA can get special treatment. If you have a 28-29 score but you have lower than a 3.0 gpa you will not be getting scholarship money.
