[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you are missing the point about athletics. Except maybe for MIT, coaches will take a top athlete who just meets the academic bar over a student who won’t be an impact player. Coaches need wins. That’s it. Your kid needs to be admissible, but the athletics are the critical part. [/quote] I can’t imagine a quarter to a third of Amherst’s students for example (the athletes) got in with middling grades from middling high schools and 1250 SATs. What’s more likely is that most of them are excellent students and ok athletes and only a handful are true impact players for whom the academic standards were lowered. [/quote]
