[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry for the losses. Many students from rural areas don’t have the academic foundation to compete or catch up with their peers from competitive high schools. Top colleges keep giving them advantages in college admissions for political reasons but the brutal truth is, they’re not ready for the rigor.[/quote] The student who died graduated from a boarding school in New Hampshire, so I would presume he was well-prepared.[/quote] St Paul’s is an Ivy feeder, so yes. Still may have found it tough to balance Cornell rigor with his athletic interests. And it’s just a tough age, who knows what else was going on. Poor kid.[/quote]
