[quote=Anonymous]If by recruiting you mean coaches reach out to athletes via AAU, travel soccer leagues, word of mouth, and that if they are a highly desirable athlete that they have a much better chance of getting in, even if academically they otherwise would likely not have a chance, and if you mean that financial aid for new students in the US may be used very extensively for athletes, then yes, all these schools recruit to some degree, even GDS (for instance girls basketball). However, none give athletic "merit aid", ie if the family would not otherwise qualify for FA, they don't get it. This is in contrast to a place like St John's that seems to give explicit athletic scholarships that are not need based. Sidwell (having had kids there) did not seem to do this in nearly as extensive a way ten years ago, but there has been creep towards doing so a bit more in the recent past reportedly, but who knows if true.[/quote]
