[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend’s son has many offers from good schools - only one application submitted - and just committed to a school where he hadn’t applied. [/quote]

There is no way they didn’t apply.  They might have applied after a verbal offer but they still filled out the forms and sent their transcripts etc . . .[/quote]

My kid signed a National Letter of Intent.  A binding contract to play soccer at a school.  Before applying. Then on the last day of ED applications due dates, Kid applied and received acceptance 10 mins later. [/quote]

Exactly, your kid applied.  [/quote]

You’re a dolt if you think this kid’s application had anything to do with his admission. Do you think he was stressed whatsoever in applying like everyone else? [/quote]

So if you meant that training for many years and traveling around the country for high stakes competition is more stressful than worrying about your essay (rather than just writing whatever) you should have said it.  I would have disagreed with you but it would be debatable.  What is not debatable is that athletes fill out applications.  The fact that OP doesn’t know this basic fact is an indication that she he/she is uneducated about the process.[/quote]
