Getting into college, especially inclusive of playing sports, is all business. There is no fair/unfair, just compliant/non-compliant. Birth years are for candles on the cake and tombstones at this point.
No it is cheating, you cant hack it or have issues in school - that is what a PG year was for not masquerading a problem be it athletic or academic in MS.
Uh, no. Since when would you struggle through HS academically planning to do a PG year all the way through? I get you may plan to do a PG year later in HS, but to plan that out ahead during MS? wth are you even talking about!? Kids repeat or transfer in laterally to private all of the time for exactly this reason. ALL of the time. You don't have to agree, but your argument is invalid. Perhaps you could have used that extra year?
