[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still find it hard to believe she was rejected at every school including the HBCU. Something isn't right. Sounds like Sidwell gave terrible recommendations. Glad she is at UPenn now. [b]Also she was a track star at Sidwell and surprised she did not get in anywhere. [/b]The whole thing is so fishy.[/quote]

Sidwell is a very small school.  Being a track star at Sidwell doesn't mean much. [/quote]

She was DC State Champion in the 100 meter run. This covers  all DC public and private schools. That actually does mean much. [/quote]
About 1% of students in DC do track and field as a sport. From a national athletic standpoint, it means close to nothing.[/quote]

She is an All-American. She was ranked on a national level.[/quote]

But she wasn’t recruited by any university, so how good was she really?[/quote]

She ran at Penn...[/quote]

Good for her.  She walked on.  But when she applied to college the first time, she wasn't good enough to be recruited.  And apparently she wasn't compelling enough to be admitted by any institution to which she applied.[/quote]
