| Pomona, an incredibly respected institution and a DIII school, had the highest per-undergrad endowment in the country (last time I checked).
AWS give excellent financial aid.
Vassar gave me a way better package than Brown did (granted there I was a recruited athlete -- they recruit for rugby, Brown doesn't).
I had a friend, who, according to his best friend, really only got into Pomona "because of football"
There are plenty of brilliant athletes. We have national select players who do very well at a very difficult school on my team. We have a player who is getting a dual degree in 4 years, which usually takes 5. We have Royce Fellows, and all sorts of stuff.
What about Zach Deossi, who went to Brown, and now plays for the Giants?
Or Nick Harrington, who chose between a shot at pro football and Harvard Law?
I know you have good intentions, but a lot of your suppositions are really just wrong. |
