[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the person who heard the head of school describe the student as a golfer. I am not opposed to mentioning this fact, however it came across as though this were her entire identity -- i.e., that this was the most important thing about her. That was what bothered me. [/quote] Not very many girls play golf. For example, SSSAS is in the Independent School Sports League -- they don't have a league in golf. Talented female golfers at ISL schools will often play on what is normally the boys' team. So it is very possible the young woman plays golf on an otherwise all-boys' team, making it a cool thing and probably evidencing her interest and talent in the sport. But style is style. They like sports at SSSAS and it's part of the school culture. If what you saw in that interaction turned you off it may be a sign that you want a school with less interweaving of sports into the school culture.[/quote]
