In reply to the question regarding Indiana's grade requirements, they do not appear to be any stricter then other universities.

No, but Indiana is pretty unusual in that it's a (1) big, competitive recruitment (2) that is deferred (3) at a school that's fairly easy to get into (about 74% admit rate).
At the handful of other schools with big, competitive deferred recruitments -- Duke, Vandy, and UVA come to mind-- the school is so selective that every student comes in well prepared, and freshman fall grades don't disqualify many women. Ditto Penn, Cornell, etc. In other words, the academic requirements may not be any higher, but they may have a lot more teeth than at an elite school where virtually everyone is above a 3.0 after fall semester.
Indiana may actually be by itself in this category. Are there any other big deferred recruitments at schools that are NOT academic elites? Maybe SMU or Maryland, but they are still a lot more selective than IU.
