[quote=Anonymous]Yes Op, many can see this and the trend towards some U.S. Colleges no longer requiring standardized tests, high schools dropping AP scope classes as well as rank and grades all in favor of some subjective teacher recommendations creates a real lack of info and merits.

Then here comes the ultimate test: a sport. Who cares if the kid learned from older kids on a dirt field many days after school and then got scooped up or was diligently driven to fencing class and competitions for years.  They out in the time, learned to a teammmate,, are coachable (opposite of some prima donna self righteous kids), have good time Mgmt, and can prioritize. On top of their natural and practiced talents and abilities in and off the field or classroom.

Of course up schools, colleges asd employers want that kind of person. And they don’t have to sift through generic or exaggerated letters to do so.

Can’t tell you how many bad cut and paste jobs mediocre students get as recommendations. Sigh. [/quote]
