[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's so easy why can't all the high SAT scorers also be world class athletes?[/quote]

Stay on topic, please. [/quote]

The topic is the edge, the schools want kids who are multi talented. Not singularly talented test takers.[/quote]

If they accept kids who don’t even apply - no, they don’t. And before Dolty responds, I mean a real application.  It just a meaningless paper trail. [/quote]

They do apply. The email coaches, send film, do face to face interviews at camps and on the side lines of games. Their application is actually more in depth and intense.[/quote]

Oh just Stop.  I have a recruited athlete.  They get an advantage in admission because they have athletic talent.  Yes that have to go through the recruiting process but their application is not more in depth or intense than a kid that spent on their time on some other interst.  like music or science reasearch or math fairs, etc.

It just is the way our system works.  Their is nothing inherently more valuable about an athlete over other talents that take dedication and drive and hard work.[/quote]
