[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP, ignore the trollish/negative posts. [/b]  One bit of information that is particularly eye-opening for me with a DC looking to be recruited -- Athletes need at or near a 4.0 UNWEIGHTED to achieve "non-committee-reviewed" spots?   We are always telling our DC how important grades are, as well as how important it is to take a rigorous schedule of honors and AP classes, but do all the recruited athletes at elite schools really have straight As in rigorous schedules?   Thanks for your time![/quote]  What trollish posts? One of my dearest friends is an admissions officer.  She barely has time to eat lunch and go to the bathroom this time of years, much less post massive tomes on DCUM.  Op is quite knowledgable, with out a doubt, but all of this info is readily available on the internet--with the exception of new SAT scores being considerably lower than the old SAT--most sources are indicating the exact opposite.  It is amazing that people are so willing to take an anonymous poster at his/her word.  OP never said s/he has actual input on any admissions. [b]Common sense dictates that things are not adding up no [/b]matter how "knowledgeable" op may be.  Seriously, any parent who has done his/her homework knows all of this already.[/quote]

I will ask again, what isn't adding up?  What has she said specifically that you disagree with?  Otherwise I think it's you whose post aren't adding up.[/quote]
