" What is sad is that such opportunities are in most cases only afforded to kids who can play sports. "
At Kal, for all intents and purposes, such opportunities are exclusively given to kids who can play sports. If you are a talented musician or sculptor with bad grades or test scores, you are SOL. Kal admissions are so competitive that taking a chance on a marginal kid makes no sense when there are six non-marginal, highly qualified kids ready to take full advantage of the Kal education.
