[quote=Anonymous]So this means that 60% of the kids get in based on other activities or hooks, including accomplishments as high school journalists, artists, performers, activists, volunteers, etc. Almost nobody gets into these schools based on grades and scores alone -- there are a slew of applicants with impreccable qualifications in this regard and the admissions staff has to sort them out based on other factors. So, yes, sports come into play, but so do other activities, as well as legacy and URM status. Essays and recommendations also weigh in, of course. And nobody who gets into Williams -- regardless of athletic prowess -- is not an excellent student. Chill -- there's no great injustice here. [/quote]
