[quote=Anonymous]My kid is a great student with high academic stats and is a recruited athlete. He goes to private school. For his sport, college coaches come to his school to watch workouts, practices, and recruit. In the DMV, those getting college offers and admission slots at top liberal arts colleges are mostly from private schools. If you're a top student-athlete who wants to play a varsity sport in college, private school provides more of a viable path as compared to a public school. There's just more exposure. Not talking about the non athletic bookworm type. If you play the tuba, great. I'm referring to high academic student athletes. At privates in the DC area it's a "hook" that works well for college admissions. Some parents don't like it or want to admit it, but it works.[/quote]
