[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the main ways to be recruited to an Ivy is to attend an elite NE boarding school. 20-30 of my daughter’s classmates commit to Ivies each year, mainly in field hockey, lacrosse, T&F, swimming, baseball and football. Some soccer players and bball players thrown in as well. Depending on the sport the commitments come as early as the summer between sophomore and junior year. [/quote] At least for baseball, those kids that are recruited are all playing on high-level usually national travel teams and the coaches really only care about those teams from an athletic standpoint. All sports are different...I think those schools are super critical for hockey and all those 5th year seniors that are playing. The boarding school transcript (and in theory high SAT scores) is influential...in other words, they know a 3.9 from Philips Andover passes the "academic" test. Of course, it always helps that your family is probably loaded too. [/quote]
