I'll have to disagree with 1990C4S. Our son was pre-admitted to Cal Poly Pomona as a sophomore based on his grades from high school ATP classes. He's a naturally gifted kid, or was. Got a full academic scholarship to SDSU and played D1 baseball for three years all while completing a 5 yr Mech Engineering degree program in 4 yrs and graduating with honors too. He was sort of lazy in high school when it came to academics. Hung out with the really smart kids but didn't have to try to even get B grades and A's weren't that hard for him to come by either. Could have been Valedictorian if he'd put his mind to it if he'd tried, but why bother was his attitude. Drafted by the Angel's out of high school in the 23rd round was exciting but he learned a lot about how to conduct yourself by playing for Tony G at SDSU. All in all I'm proud as hell about him and the success he's become as an adult.
If he'd gone to another high school I don't think he would have turned out the same.
