[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently saw the GDS rowing team practicing and several were wearing Harvard gear, so I assume that several  team members will attend Harvard or have older siblings there.[/quote]

Or have parents who went there. Or boy/girlfriends. Or rowed in the Head of the Charles and bought souvenirs.[/quote]

Rowing is a very important sport in the Ivy League.  It wouldn't surprise me that GDS crew team members are being recruited.[/quote]

This is true, because their results at the last couple of Stotesbury Cup Regattas have been almost unprecedented:

Last year - boys junior 8, 49th of 52 boats
- senior 4, 41st of 52 boats
- girls senior 4, 44th of 53

What top Ivy League coach wouldn't be rushing to GDS to sign all those kids?[/quote]

Last time I checked, the first word in scholar-athlete is "scholar."  And an Ivy coach is well aware that GDS students are well-prepared for demanding college work.  It doesn't mean that they are automatic recruits, of course, but they start off in a very strong pole position.[/quote]

Don't feed the troll.[/quote]
