[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what I don’t get: People are saying these athletes deserve it bc they have shown grit and determination, etc. well…LOTS of average athletes have shown the same determination. Someone mentioned that their swimmer is up early every morning to swim. I’m sure not every swimmer who does that is amazing. Many probably have A and BB times - nothing spectacular. They have no less grit or determination than other better athletes, but they just have a natural ability added to it. So, no, I don’t think an athlete should get special consideration for being an athlete because it shows determination - because then all athletes, even mediocre ones, should get a leg up. Doesn’t work like that. [/quote] News: Being outstanding in something not necessarily sports helps in admissions at the very top schools. Effort doesn’t mean much if you are mediocre at it.[/quote]
