I don't believe that. Last year a girl in our high school, a public school in a small neighborhood, made it into 4 Ivy League colleges with academics only. Look at the kid from elmont who got into every Ivy League school. Only academics. People want to believe the "you need sports" because they have to make themselves feel better. Maybe your friend didn't get the SAT score he says he did


And why do you think the (admittedly very smart and very accomplished) kid from Elmont get into every school to which he applied? Let's not derail the thread here. You don't seem to understand how the college admissions process works.
