[quote=Anonymous]Not true and saying this gives athletes/parents the false impression that grades/SAT do not matter. No doubt if a player is the #1-5 in the class for recruiting a coach may go to bat with admissions to squeak the player through but a coach does not want a 5 star who cannot handle the academics at an Ivy which then pulls the whole team’s GPA down causing issues with the administration and making the school/team look bad. I spoke to a parent who has a son on Harvard lax team now and most of the players on that team were high performing academic students in HS on top of being elite level lacrosse players. What you are saying is uncommon/rareoccurrence. 
The parent said they super score the SAT when the player takes it several times. The recruits must have high level academics and a total recruiting package to get through admissions. There may be the rare exception where a player has the total package despite having an average SAT and gets in with coach backing the applicant. This is rare and not the norm so do not give false hope to parents by implying this is common at high academic schools because it is NOT! For every five star athlete that has low grades/low SAT there are three or four more with a 1500 SAT and a 4.0 GPA. GRADES AND SCORES MATTER AND WILL OPEN OR SHUT DOORS FOR YOUR ATHLETE![/quote]
