[quote=Anonymous]My kid is a hockey player, and he attended a camp prior to his senior year in HS run by a bunch of coaches from different highly selective schools (Harvard, Dartmouth, Williams, Middlebury, and some others). There was a Q&A session for the parents, and I remember one parent asking whether a really good academic profile would help to balance out a sub-optimal athletic profile for purposes of getting the coach's attention to help with with admissions. And I'll never forget what the Dartmouth guy said. He stated that they wanted to best possible hockey players who could get in to the school. Once they met the minimum academic threshold, anything "better" than that was not important, at least from the coach's perspective. I assume that same approach holds true for most of the Ivy and Ivy-like schools. [/quote]
