| My S did it. For some kids, it can help them move up the sports ladder (although the the likelihood of that is smaller than many think). In S's case, it enabled him to burnish his academic resume and made him acceptable to one of the most selective LACs in the country. He is competitive there academically in his freshman year. Frankly, don't think he could have hacked it right out of high school even if the coach could have gotten him in. |
