[quote=Anonymous][quote] ok so your kid knows one smart athlete. when you get to a top college it is striking how different the academic strengths are of the athletes vs the non athlete.[/quote] I have three kids that went to “top colleges” (Ivy) and were athletes. They were also NMSF or commended, one DS was valedictorian and all graduated in the top 10% of their class. They also have graduated with honors from college. I also got to know their college teammates/roommates/friends from years of attending their athletic events. In every case, the vast majority of their teammates were kids who were definitely in the mix in terms of intelligence and academic achievement. Each of my kids certainly had teammates who absolutely would not have been admitted absent their sport, but that was the exception and not the rule. [/quote]
