[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Legacy is a problem, but kids getting into schools because of sports is an even bigger problem. Those two student populations take a significant number of spots at top schools. A kid could be busting their ass, and an athlete who has a weaker transcript & test scores will get it. [/quote] If it's that easy, teach your kid how to play lacrosse. [/quote] Why should some lacrosse player get an easy way in? In a perfect world, these small schools would have intramural sports OR, perhaps better, build a new dorm to accommodate the extra kids. But no, they won’t do that. [/quote] Because college is not about just the highest scores. In case you have not noticed, the smartest people are not the ones that run the world.[/quote]
