[quote=Anonymous][quote]It's funny, my nephew is applying for colleges now. He is an "A" student at a highly competitive private school in Ca., taking AP course in physics, calculus, Chinese etc., perfect score on the SATs in math and physics, 35-36 ACT, father a hyp alumni, community service, glowing teacher evaluations and in the top 200 in his sport. He applied early at admissions and has struck out. So now it a scrambled and they are applying to places that are still taking applications. It's just so competitive.

What sport? I really give you the side eye because if he is a top 200 player (especially something like basketball, soccer, lax, football) he would've been easily a recruit at hyp, especially with those grades and scores. Something doesn't smell right. Jeremy Lin wasn't a top 150 baller in his high school class (unranked on Rivals.com) and was flagged as an athletic recruit for harvard. HYP sports, while d1 for many of the 'big sports' are not that high level if you are[/quote]
It's not a team sport.[/quote]
