How dare this teenager allow her grades to slip merely because there were 3 deaths in her family in six months!!
What kind of automatons do we have in the admissions office these days? What does it profit a school if it maintains its USNews&World report ranking but loses its soul?
This is not the first such unfeeling admissions decision at the Cross in recent years.
Locally, this lady is said to be a terrific ballplayer and good kid. Agree that admissions needs to consider the human side of an individual's life, when justified and warranted. This could have been a groundbreaking recruit and could have been a first step in furthering diversity on the women's hoop team. Although we have not heard the story from the Admissions point of view, either way it is unfortunate. Assumption ends up the winner in this case.
