[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will athletic prowess and accomplishments be a factor for lower school admissions?[/quote]

What exactly do you mean by "athletic prowess?"  How can your son really be that much better than other athletic boys that it would make a real statement or impact??[/quote]

I'm not the PP who made the quoted statement, but there'e a boy in my son's class at STA who was known for being super at soccer, not at his previous school, which did not offer soccer, but in the local recreational league. He was admitted in the sixth grade. It's been a few years, and he's consistently been a star performer on the interscolastic soccer team ever since. I am sure his "prowess" at soccer was a factor in his admission. I've been told that the area private school coaches scout the recreational and travel soccer leagues.[/quote]

THAT is crazy. Scouting 8 year olds. I don't believe it for a second. No adult with an ounce of self-respcet would engage in this. [/quote]
