[quote=Anonymous]The athlete haters in this thread are really focused on admissions to T30 schools. Nobody is complaining their kid can’t get into U Tenn because of the football team. The population of kids that are targeted here is a tiny tiny fraction of all applicants. The athletes that are lucky enough to be admitted for the top schools are really the best of the best. Not only are the tremendous athletes (vetted through competition) but they are incredibly bright (academically strong with less hours studying). They have very tangible traits (leadership, perseverance, competitiveness, passion, time management) that you can’t discern from a kid with 1600 SAT. The athletes are an easy pick for an AO.[/quote]
