[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, ignore the trollish/negative posts.   One bit of information that is particularly eye-opening for me with a DC looking to be recruited -- Athletes need at or near a 4.0 UNWEIGHTED to achieve "non-committee-reviewed" spots?   We are always telling our DC how important grades are, as well as how important it is to take a rigorous schedule of honors and AP classes, [b]but do all the recruited athletes at elite schools really have straight As in rigorous schedules[/b]?   Thanks for your time![/quote]

Not OP, but this is absolutely not true.  Elite colleges, even Ivies, will recruit athletes and give them a pass on grades or SATs (to a degree).  However, you have to be a very high level athlete - think Olympic level or you can lead your team to a national title.  [/quote]

false - there is no ivy league male soccer player that is remotely good enough to play in europe at an elite level or even carry a side to a ncaa national team title. But there are plenty of ivy league male players who skate in on the lower end of the Academic Index. [/quote]
