[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My recruited athlete has a 35 on his ACT, and a wGPA of 4.8. Why not recruit high stats athletes if their scores fall in the range of accepted students? Better than a legacy or child of a big donor. [/quote] The problem is that recruited athletes with the minimum stats or above push ahead of kids equally or way more qualified. It doesn't even need to be about unqualified kids taking spots, but that less qualified kids take spots. Cherry picking your son out to say, "See! Athletes are smart!!!!!" doesn't help your stance. Of course, there are some that are 75% or higher in stats but: a) that is not the minority; and b) they take spots over more acadmically qualified kids. P.S. A weighted GPA of a 4.8 is dumb. [/quote]
