[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have students in the high school.  It is not just sports.  It is more how can a strong academic student contribute to the overall school be it sports, theater, etc.  They are looking for strong academic types that will excel in other areas.  If you think about it, that person will end up doing well in the college application process.

Make no mistake, it is not at the expense of academics.  But when two candidates are nearly equal, it will make a difference.  Potomac will get 3 academically qualified applicants for every slot so who should they take?  Just like the college admissions process.  The school is definitely moving in the right direction with the new Headmaster.  [/quote]

They ain't falling all over the flute players . . . [/quote]

Potomac has a very strong debate team and a very strong theater program.  If the essay spoke to the flute prowess and being high recognized in that field, it should help with admissions.  [/quote]

+1 They just hired a guy named Harry Strong who is the preeminent debate coach in the country.  The guy has probably coached more national champions in speech than Coach K at Duke.  [/quote]
