one kid accepted, one kid rejected from the same college

The misconception that admission seats at certain colleges are an elastic commodity!

What happens when the United Airline plane you wish to board is full and at capacity? You find another flight/college!

So tired of the elitist attitude of athletes and parents. Kids who hold full time jobs, practice an instrument or perform have very challenging and demanding schedules. Athletes aren’t the only ones working hard.

Read what I said. They are getting a different educational experience. As in, after they get in. They aren’t getting all the perks and opportunities of non athlete kids.

And I am not an athlete or an athlete parent. My ex boyfriend, who I despise now, was a D1 athlete. As terrible a person and boyfriend as he was, I can tell you he worked harder than anyone I knew while in college, because he had a serious full time job as an athlete on top of being a full time student. It sucked for him. It’s just not the same thing at all and it’s nothing to envy.

NP. Parent of athlete and musicians. Kids have worked at different periods of time. Being a school athlete is, by far, the most difficult and time consuming.

+1 our experience as well but replace musicians with dancer. Our school athlete put in almost double the amount of hours on the field while balancing the same load as our other child school load wise. For better or worse, school athletics take major commitments.
