<p>@Living61 I don’t understand the anger about athlete admits. They worked for their skill and accomplishments. Their work tends to be harder than the kind of work people put into various clubs and community service because the competition will include not just Ivy League hopefuls but also everyone else. In the case of sports like Basketball, Football, and Baseball, one also has inner city kids to compete with. There is also the issue of why all these parents whining about these “advantages” didn’t just get their kids to go into sports.</p>
<p>Athlete admits are at least better than URM, legacy, and developmental preferences. At least becoming an skilled athlete isn’t something one is born with but is rather something one can put work into.</p>
