[quote=Anonymous]Why a school takes an athlete over other qualified candidates? Top athletes have several qualities readily apparent to any admissions officer which are- Leadership, perseverance, teamwork, and competitiveness. Other applicants can’t easily demonstrate these qualities in an application or interview. So if the athlete has the grades and test scores (even if slightly lower) the admissions also knows it is getting these other qualities. The US is the only country in the world that heavily investment in sports at the HS and college level. The US is also the most competitive and successful country in the world. I think there is a relationship between the two.[/quote]
