[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is being recruited by an Ivy to play tennis. He also has an 800 math sat and his lowest grade was an A- in a 9th grade class taken in 8th grade.

I don’t know why people assume jocks are dumb.[/quote]

Because we have actual data from Harvard that shows that while athletes aren’t dumb their academic accomplishments are markedly below those of other admits.  Good for your kid though with a 800 math SAT they are like plenty of students rejected from Harvard. [/quote]

So they are not dumb then.[/quote]

Previous person always comes on here citing the Harvard data. I think they have a sore butt or something [/quote]

Versus your chapped lips from kissing athletes’ asses all day long.

Yeah let’s rely less on actual facts and more on whatever story you want to tell yourselves that athletic recruits “deserve” their hooks unlike all other hooked applicants.  People like you are all for merit except here. Either all hooks are legitimate or none of them are.
