[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]athletic thumb on the scale is such a big scam.

can't believe after affirmative action ruling schools kept this unfair hook for non-money making sports like squash, crew and x-country running.

how does the rest of the school benefit from having those athletes there taking up space when there are more deserving applicants who have more to offer?[/quote]

DEI for jocks.[/quote]

Here we go again. It's just unfathomable for some people to grasp that there are athletes that ALSO have top grades and scores. It's a few exceptions that everyone harps on about. The top schools get more qualified applicants than they can accept. So they get to pick and choose. It's life. Get over it. I don't know who you are, but I'm guessing your child had/has an advantage over others, in terms of access to academic resources, money, etc. Should they not get a spot because of that advantage? It is what it is. The school doesn't necessarily benefit more from having a 4.0 UW/1600 than an athlete who is 3.9/1550. It just doesn't. Either is fine and both are qualified, but - hey - they needed a swimmer. Oh well.[/quote]
