[quote=Anonymous]Had three kids get recruited, 2 to Ivies. This is only my observation but to me, it seems like it came down to first their athletic prowess with regard to their respective sport and getting them past admissions...of course to even be considered, they needed to be in the ballpark (which they were).
With the coach working hard to get them through I honestly don't think the EC's were even really factored in. To us it always seemed like first they wanted them becasue they were good on the field and secondly, they paid close attention to their academics and test scores. After meeting with several coaches and feeling a chemistry with some more than others, when they got down to business it really was all about grades and their ability on the field.
Good luck, it's an emotional process with plenty of speedbumps in the road, but it normally ends up working out just fine. My take away was that things can changer literally in an hour. This one coach from a top school wanted my son, constantly called and emailed when he could,etc....one day he dropped off the radar. Another big time recruit decided to go there and in essence took my sons spot and just like that, after months of "courting him" as a recruit, he just stopped. Finally my son spoke with him...welcome to the world of college recruiting.
He ended up in a great school where he was very very happy. Good luck to you and your child.[/quote]
