[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A moco private that everyone assumes offers athletic scholarships made clear at the open house that they don’t. A lot of parents were shocked. [/quote] They were no doubt “shocked” because they went into the open house in a clueless state. The average person’s conceptions about scholarships are woefully wrong. This isn’t helped by the rumors or false claims of current parents that their kids are on “free rides” or receive significant financial aid tied to athletic prowess. It’s true that athletic potential does have weight in the private school admissions process as do a host of other things. But comparing this to the college recruiting and scholarship model is extremely misleading and confusing. Their aren’t mountains of financial aid cash. And what money there is is carefully distributed to ensure incoming classes are filled and that the many competing interests on campus are satisfied.[/quote]
