[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was stupid was they could have done it “legit”.  At our private, the waalthy kids play tennis, squash, lacrosse, soccer - not crew unless a cox as it is time consuming and brutal or football unless the kicker. Not track or cross country either.

So then at college admissions time, the HS counselor will call schools on these kids behalf as their wealthy parents (we are talking generational wealth or PE or HF) have donated to the HS and HS counselor will indicate to college that wealthy parents will also donate to college.  And these are for HYP, Stanford and then the rest of ivies (not Cornell), Duke - nothing less for these kids. It has gotten so obvious that $$$ and athletic recruits are being bundled as the side door in for these wealthy kids that the school will no longer publish the academic achievements of the class at graduation. Why? Because it is then so obvious to everyone that the top kids of the class are not getting into the top schools but the wealthy “athletes” are. Going to Wharton when everyone knows u took the easiest class but was “recruited”? None of these kids are at national level at their sport but recruited to HYP.[/quote]

Forgot to add that most of these kids had extended time also plus of course all the prep. It is not that difficult to meet the AI - your school grades can pull the AI up so most of these kids take the easiest courses possible [/quote]
