[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does recruiting for Ivies work? I’m seeing some girls commit to an Ivy during junior year but then some commit their senior year. Do you have to wait and be patient and pass up on other non-Ivy schools? It seems like a timing mismatch and a problem of the bird in hand… [/quote]

Girls that commit their Junior year are committing to 'application process'.  They still have to get in to the school.  Being a recruit drastically helps unless you have terrible grades or bomb the SAT.  Most Iveys want at least a 1350 SAT and a very high GPA.  The GPA cant be based on easy classes.  Rigor is extremely important and honestly I think the high school is important as well.  
If you want to pursue the Iveys and they haven't offered you a spot early in the recruitment window, you might have to pass on some really good schools.  My DD didn't want to do that.  She wanted to get the process behind her asap.  She lucked out with a great school and awesome coaching staff.  Some girls would be happy to wait with the possibility on going to Columbia or Harvard.  Different strokes!  [/quote]
