[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I do not oppose holistic admissions but it should not factor in skin color. SES and student-specific struggles or life history as they relate to academic potential - fine to a certain extent given social diversity goals. But holistic admissions using personal character that is about motivation and leadership and social or academic impact yes. Holistic admission by reserving spots for legacies and sports NO. If people want to play sports fine but dont displace other excellent students who could uss that slot to learn. Sports and non-sports kids should be judged using the same academic (and leadership) bar. [/quote] Why do you assume the kids who play sports are displacing other excellent students? Most of the student-athletes I know, particularly who attend very competitive colleges (ie NESCA/IVY/Nwestern/Stanford) are also tippy top students.[/quote]
