[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prior poster: I actually don't care if a particular school admits poorly qualified lacrosse players, since I'm confident my son will be accepted to a top school based on academic merit. Way too much emphasis on non-revenue sports on this blog, when more intelligent conversations could occur on more important topics. [/quote] You care a lot. Your kid could have a perfect GPA and not get into any high level college of his/her choice. Yale and Princeton reject thousands of HS valedictorians each year. Sports affords some advantages in admissions. And top schools don't take exceptional athletes who are bad students. There are enough exceptional athletes in every non revenue sport who are also top students. You need to have both to get the advantage a sport can give.[/quote]
