And if he has a travel team proficiency in soccer, baseball or lacrosse, that will get you a URM type bounce.[/quote]

Hmmm.  This is probably not somebody from STA admissions posting.  So take such pronouncements with bushel (not just a grain) of salt.[/quote]

Of course not.  But have you seen or know anything about the incoming classes?  If you did, you'd know about such proficiency.  There is a new chapter in STA admissions.  Thank God for C@@@@@@@o![/quote]

It is a ridiculous assertion that any kid on a club team gets a huge admissions bump.  In many sports, playing at the club level is more a proxy for affluence than high level talent.   It is also ridiculous to act as if you know what the wait is given to athletics in the admissions process relative to other factors.

If you had made the point that St. Albans is interested in applications from great athletes who can succeed in the classroom? Sure, no argument there. But your post vastly overreached and purported a level of inside knowledge that you clearly do not possess.[/quote]
