[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend’s son has many offers from good schools - only one application submitted - and just committed to a school where he hadn’t applied. [/quote]

There is no way they didn’t apply.  They might have applied after a verbal offer but they still filled out the forms and sent their transcripts etc . . .[/quote]

They haven’t applied yet - just accepted the offer. But really, is that the point you want to make?  Who cares if they still have to apply, they are essentially in, barring a rare occurrence. [/quote]

Depending on the school that is not necessarily true. I know someone who was a recruited athlete to UVA (OOS) and received her commitment her freshman year of HS. She was not a great student and she had to have extensive tutoring for her SAT testing to ensure it was "in range" for UVA or she would have not gotten admitted - sports or no sports. She was able to get it into the 1300 or even 1400s, was accepted and attends. (quit the sport btw)[/quote]

You are just ill-informed.  My son is an athlete at UVA with a HS GPA of 2.8 and 1050 on the SAT.[/quote]
