[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would I make it up? The school makes a big announcement about where the student-athletes have committed to play in college. There were 10 this year, five at Ivies. On that list of schools someone posted, there were about ten Ivy admissions represented, so half were those were the recruited athletes. The list doesn't represent the whole class, and maybe the number of Ivy admits will grow--who knows? I don't think the school has to be "crushing it" in athletics for five kids to commit to Ivies. Several of them are for crew, fwiw.[/quote] This does not mean the student got an admissions boost from the recruitment (beyond the boost from having a competitive accomplishment on their resume). The high schools can have whatever events they want. The ivys have very strict limits on athletic admits — many of the athletes are walk on.[/quote]
