Or have parents who went there. Or boy/girlfriends. Or rowed in the Head of the Charles and bought souvenirs.

Rowing is a very important sport in the Ivy League. It wouldn't surprise me that GDS crew team members are being recruited.

This is true, because their results at the last couple of Stotesbury Cup Regattas have been almost unprecedented:

Last year - boys junior 8, 49th of 52 boats
- senior 4, 41st of 52 boats
- girls senior 4, 44th of 53

What top Ivy League coach wouldn't be rushing to GDS to sign all those kids?

Last time I checked, the first word in scholar-athlete is "scholar." And an Ivy coach is well aware that GDS students are well-prepared for demanding college work. It doesn't mean that they are automatic recruits, of course, but they start off in a very strong pole position.

Don't feed the troll.
