[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm saving the bulk of my outrage for the recruited athletes. There is literally no reason why athletes at selective colleges should be 30% more likely to be admitted than any other candidate. Does a member of the sailing / water polo / crew / track / tennis team really bring something that special to a university like Stanford, USC, Georgetown, University of Texas? Even if a student has a marginally better SAT or ACT score due to a faked diagnosis and extra time, they still will have a lower chance of being admitted than a kid with the same score who happens to be an athlete. And yes, the athlete has devoted him or herself to their sport and put in many hours of practice. So has my kid, except he was learning to speak clearly. [/quote] Amen. While I was at Georgetown the football team actually ran the wrong way down the field at homecoming at one point. I almost asked for my $1 admission back.[/quote]
