[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why you would want a school that used grades and test scores alone. Test scores are objective measures, but measures of what? There is raw ability, but then there is what you do with it. Colleges want to see that you get things done. There are plenty of cab drivers in Mensa.[/quote]

Because if you have a 17 year old with high grades and test scores, it’s nice to think that at least one university in this country might offer them at least a chance at an education. Even if they can’t play lacrosse. [/quote]

There are 3000 colleges and universities in the US. Your kid will get a college education.

You don't need to play lacrosse. If you are editing the school newspaper, starting a food drive for the local foodbank, or playing piano at the liocal senior center, you are getting stuff done.

If you don't like how these universities choose their students, why would you send your kid there? Students get half of their education from their classmates. Exposure to different kinds of people is an important part of your education. If you can't function in a diverse team, a lot of the good jobs are off limits.[/quote]
