That's a good article (I had seen it somewhere before--maybe on this site?). But most of the students profiled have SAT scores that would be below the current 25th percentile at the schools discussed. Granted, scores were almost certainly lower in 2006, but I have to wonder if the author failed to mention that the athletes he is discussing were warned that they were at some risk of not getting in?
My son is supposed to get word on his ED application tomorrow, so maybe I'm whistling past the graveyard...
I noticed that too. Most of the examples in the article had SATs that seemed on the low side. And, being riddled with anxiety, I began to feel some comfort for my son ... before remembering the rejection pool contains plenty with higher scores, as well.
Any port in a storm!!
