[quote=Anonymous]My son fits that description. He is an athlete. He fits in wonderfully. He does have a lower GPA than most his friends but he is also well liked by all... especially the professors. There is a reason your student got in, somebody has to be in the bottom of the class. Why did she get in... sports, arts, philanthropy? The fact is that schools found that if they admit 100% top of the class students with no other skills to float their ego the kids that ended up in the lower 50% we forever scared. :-) No joke, there was a study and it was just too much for some kids to go from top student to "average" among their peer. Our kids are hard workers, get along and have great grades. Who cares if they are in the lower 50% of the class. Mine doesn't care. [/quote]
