Why should my or your kid with better scores not get accepted because another kid is a relative of a coach? If the niece or whoever didn’t get accepted, she didn’t have the gpa or ACT scores, just like 1000s of other kids who applied and didn’t get in. 60k applied. 7k accepted. My 3rd son worked hard for a 4.0, which is auto acceptance in TN, and took the ACT 4 times to get as high of a score as possible. Wouldn’t be fair to him or any other kid to get ditched by Claire Vitello with for example a 3.5 and 25 ACT. It is what it is.
