[quote=Anonymous][quote]Squash. My DH grew up in a squash "hotbed" and many of the kids at his school and neighboring schools got into Ivy League schools by playing.[/quote] The point is made you can be of fair and average athletic talent at best and if you start early enough (middle and high school) with these activities it's not an insurmountable challenge to ride this skill set into "Ivy" admission and a varsity roster spot. I would not bank on this strategy for basketball, football and track! It's easy enough to play squash for Princeton as Podunk U doesn't have a squash or water polo team! Delusions aside, even some purists around here can load their children up on club teams (lacrosse, swimming, squash, and golf) chasing trinkets and ribbons solely for health reasons.[/quote]
