[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The starting catcher for the #3 ranked softball team in the nation (according to USA Today) will go to MIT next year. [/quote] Yorktown’s shortstop will go to Stanford.[/quote] Yes, but the athletes generally have lower stats than the average student. They must meet a minimum standard, but athletics are why they are accepted. This is what many above average players with good grades are doing - using sports to get into schools that would generally be out of their league. [/quote] Not for schools like Stanford unless you have chance to go pro. [/quote] No, even for schools like Stanford. Athletic admits are still above average students, but not was strong as the super students that are admitted to that caliber of school. How many kids from Yorktown usually go to Stanford? I would guess not many. [/quote]
