[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Keep in mind that Duke gives athletic scholarships while Amherst does not. Kids can be misled by low-appearing SAT scores from colleges like these, and incorrectly think they have a shot. I suspect that in reality, most of those low SATs are from recruited athletes, not from the general applicant pool.[/quote] which is why time and time again i have said naviance is utter trash unless they start reporting hooks along with the data. it isn't like the data doesn't exist. it just doesn't want to be released. [/quote] Yes. Siblings I know: 1 valedictorian, the other athlete and middling student. The athlete was approached by Amherst. In the end, I doubt the athlete would have been admitted as those "approaches" can be made to thousands. And the valedictorian did just fine in admissions. Just concurring the athlete factor is real.[/quote]
