[quote=Anonymous]I understand the sentiment. Your kid works their butt off, crossing all the hurdles, checking all the boxes, but they aren't athletic enough even though they played that sport every year since they were four and tried really hard. So for that one reason that feels so unrelated to college, they don't get to go to the top academic schools, and the athlete in their class, who maybe isn't a top academic/maybe is, does. It is hard to make sense of it when you've done everything right academically, and you want to to there to study, but you just can't jump that high or hit someone hard enough to knock them down. Therefore, you have to study philosophy and neuroscience somewhere else. It is an awkward disconnect.[/quote]
