[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The book "The Price of Admissions" thoroughly explains the donor/legacy/celebrity/athlete preferences in the Ivy League and other prestigious schools and was published back in 2007.  And that's just the non-illegal ways people get in. [b]When you consider the low % admitted and that a majority of those fit one of the hook categories, there are very, very few kids who get in on their own academic merits alone.[/b][/quote]

Part of why the parents in this area are so stuck their kids playing sports, even if they suck. [/quote]

This part is true and we all know it. [b]All the kids in hs feel like they have to do a sport for their resumes[/b]. If colleges weren't so hard to get into it would be like my days in hs in the 70s where people didn't care about the sports. [/quote]

Are you stupid?  Stop, rhetorical question, for what it's worth mouth breather, many kids "do a sport" because they like it and it teaches many things like hard work, discipline and humility.[/quote]

You are full of it. Most kids do it now because they have to. [/quote]
