Article Unfairly Implies That High School Athletes Focus on Studying Less Frequently Than Their Peers

I enjoyed your (Oct. 22) article on how the children of admission directors choose colleges.

However, your article contrasted my college search, which includes my participation in intercollegiate athletics, with others who would appear to be more academically focused.

This does me and other student-athletes a disservice.

Beyond baseball, my academic qualifications are consistent with those of students who attend highly selective institutions.
