Now, in my mind, that's the point. At a lot of top schools, even top state schools, there are a lot more qualified (i.e., scores and grades are near average for admits) students being denied admission than there are students being admitted. Obviously, this is partially a factor of top students applying to 15-20 schools, turning it all into a crap shoot.

I agree I would not want my kid to get a sports bump of a magnitude that put him or her in the bottom third of the class in terms of grades and scores. That's not to say that's not a good thing for many kids, just not what I would want for mine.

Back on topic, I think it's great to have all the DMV clubs in one league. Will they ever add midweek games?
