<p>I think interestedDad means recruiting within certain academic parameters.</p>
<p>Listen, ID, Williams IS trying to correct for past admissions errors. But if you keep portraying Williams as a school full of beer-guzzling dummies, its strives for academic growth will be that much more difficult. Get it?</p>
<p>As a former graduate and varsity athlete, I find your comments unfair and offensive. The majority of athletes at Williams are excellent students. In fact, my SAT scores were higher than those of your daughter (You divulged her scores last spring) , and my parents did not have the opportunity to attend a school like Williams. In fact, they didn't attend college at all. Athletics undoubtedly helped me gain admission to Williams, and I appreciate everything I derived my education there. I still keep in touch with many of my professors.</p>
<p>I respect your criticism, but increasingly you seem to be veering away from presenting a balanced view of the place. </p>
<p>Jrpar, I think it is ridiculous that the admissions staff told your son to re-take the SATs. A 1460 is a perfectly respectable score, and I think the admissions staff IS becoming increasingly score conscious. This is mainly driven by the USNews frenzy.</p>
