[quote=Anonymous]My personal experience with a female athlete and scholar. It would be extremely rare for a coach to claim kid is a top recruit if there is no chance of getting in. The coaches/teams only need a average across all players - for both GPA and test scores. If there is a 4.0/1600 recruit or player already on the team - this kid helps the other kids get in. Ivy coaches have a lot of pull with admissions. There are many examples of athletes with less than top stats being accepted. They aren't the bottom of the rung but they can be more in the middle. Ivy coaches will be very specific with your kid if they want them. A quote from a top Ivy to my daughter "All you need is a 30 on the ACT and we can manager the rest". Coaches will not waste time with kids that can not get into the school. There are too many other athletes out there. [/quote]
