<p>Actually, that is exactly my point. There are something like 70 high school newspaper editors in my S’ class at Midd. Of course, they probably all didn’t get 3 “best in state” awards for their writing, but perhaps 50 of them did. And it’s likely many had 4.0 and 2300ish SATs.
There weren’t as many boys of my athletic son’s academic level also at his athletic level in his sport.Hence my advise. The cello and the french horn, and an expressed desire to play them in the school performance group, probably also help.</p>
