[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I argue that athlete candidates do not have an advantage. All of the potential athletes have already been culled by the time they apply to the school, dramatically inflating their acceptance rate. There are 15-20 kids who are contacting the coach to want to be on the team with only 1 or 2 being picked by the coach. The athlete is not applying unless he is supported by the coach and able to be in the team. The only advantage is that their test scores/grades may be lower than the average, but not dramatically lower.[/quote] 100% the grades and scores are dramatically lower. [/quote] Wow if only there were no other groups with dramatically lower grades like legacies 30-35%. If only the student athletes did not make up 4-7% of the student body. This is only an issue if your kid is in the bottom 5% of accepted students. At that point what is really differentiating the candidates? It’s not grade and GPA. [/quote]
