[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren’t colleges fighting back against the recent SCOTUS decision saying they are entitled to put together any kind of diverse class they want? They don’t just want high stats, they want a kid who is going to contribute in some way to a diverse community? Well, athletics is one way, music/theater another etc. [/quote] The vast majority of athletes at the most selective schools — especially Division 3 — are rich (as in, no financial aid needed) white kids. Music and theater is treated like any other extracurricular for admissions. Athletics is not. In NESCAC, most schools have 1/3 of their admission spots set aside for athletes. [/quote]
