[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fine, it very well may be that my student athlete finished in the lower 1/3 at his Ivy. I am just happy that he used lacrosse to get in the door. [/quote] There was a study done they showed students at Ivy League schools were so use to bring in the top 5% of their elem/middle/HS class that when they went to an Ivy, no matter how smart, they could not excel beyond college because their self esteem was hurt by not being in the top 5% anymore. Somebody has to be in the lower 95%. They found student who gain their self esteem in other areas of life... Athletics, arts, music, public service, etc... Did not stumble due to not being in the top 5% in the their graduating class and are more successful after graduation than "just a smart kid". Which brings us to the push to accept athletes, artist, musicians. Being "just smart" has a deminishing rate of return.[/quote]
