[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On a somewhat related note, the people that view sports as a "hook" for college admissions in the same way they view a legacy as a hook have no idea what they are talking about. The legacy is something your are born into, while the sports hook is based on years of hard work and unrelenting dedication. My DS, who now plays division 1, attended a Big 3 school. One year she was injured and couldn't do anything for 8 months. We couldn't believe how time she had to get her work done, get good rest, spend time with friends. To play at high a level was obviously her choice, and one she does not regret, but for anyone to suggest that legacy and sports hooks are the same probably hasn't had a child go through the process.
