[quote=Anonymous]Society value certain [b]unique[/b] skill sets. Only a small subset of the population is athletic and to work to develop that skill set for particular sport makes that candidate very rare & desirable to colleges. It is much more common to find kids with 1500+ SAT, 4.0+GPA than it is to find someone who can perform at a very high level in their particular sport. For other activities, such as music & science/math, if you are the top tier (ie. won an award at Carnegie Hall or won the countries top math/science award), you WILL BE recruited. Most of our kids, with a combination of privilege of growing up in the DMV & hard work, are all great candidates. Many of them can get merit scholarships at T50-100 schools but we chose to fight over the T20. Remember, school are filling their needs.[/quote]
