[quote=Anonymous]“Because diverse student bodies offer a better undergraduate experience than one with only academic grinds. This coming from someone who was admitted to HYPS schools solely due to academics. I would've hated college if everyone were just like me. The experience was so much better being around peers who were stars in their own non-academic areas -- whether athletics, arts, etc. but could also hold their own academically.”

Poppycock.  PSAT is a low bar middle school academic test. Subject matter is elementary and middle school level.  Not demanding in the least for bright high school students.

One does not need to be a grind to get NMSF or NMF….perhaps for your family members

Recent African ancestry
2 sons both NMSF and NMf
Both collegiate athletes and national award winners
They were never considered grinds by their peers and teachers

Is that profile diverse enough for your kind

Your shallow mind is riddled with false preconceived notions.  Perhaps you are using your children as your metric for who is a grind and who is well-rounded.
