[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to hear OP. Both my husband and I are immigrants and are still surprised to see how much weight athletics is being given when it comes to school admissions in the US, especially for boys. Our son got waitlisted in all 3 “ competitive schools “ he applied for. He’s a very bright student with stellar A+s, great character but average athlete . The average athlete part seems to be the kiss of death when it comes to the top schools. It seems that unless the kid is TJ smart , elite athlete , or a diversity candidate , there isn’t much of a chance at the competitive schools. Unfortunately , just being a great , bright and well rounded kid doesn’t cut it anymore [/quote] Diversity doesn’t even matter anymore with all the applicants, they don’t need to make any exceptions for that anymore.[/quote]
