[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do a search of the archives, this had been discussed many times. I think most colleges are going to assume the C student, even a B- student, is unmotivated, and won't be interested unless there's some hook like maybe sports.[/quote]

What make syou think " bottom half student" indicates C's. My DS attends another school , and just about his entire class gets all A's. Bottom half could be mostly B's, the occasional A, and the occasional C. Hardly translates to "unmotivated" withthe work these schools give the kids, my god...have you seen the work ?[/quote]

Uh yes, yes I have seen the work at one of these schools. I have also seen C students, and I'm sure you have too.

Calm down. I was trying to make one of the few points probably everyone can agree on. (If anyone has time to waste, search up the thread from a few years ago from the mom whose Sidwell kid was rejected at UMD.) Also I was deliberately trying to avoud the usual path for these types of threads on DCUM, which is a fast degeneration into competitive postings of exmissions lists and hostile arguments about whether Sewanee is really a desirable school. But if that's where you want to go (and the snide tone of your post makes a good start), well then I guess I can't stop you.
