[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, it's going to depend on the sport. But, the very sought after schools recruit top level, nationally known players. [b]The Ivies in my kid's sport only take International players and players coming from pro-academies in the US[/b]. Your typical travel and/or HS player is not even good enough for the Club team at the school. It also gets International players and players coming from the top leagues in the country-but not recruited-and is very competitive (100s of kids come out--like 1 or 2 Freshmen make it).[/quote]

I wonder how Trump’s ban on student visas for international students will affect those teams for the next couple of years…

+1.  Went to a Cornell v. Dartmouth mens soccer game last year and 10 of the 11 starting Dartmouth players were non-U.S.  That means there are probably no more than 2 or so U.S. kids recruited at Dartmouth each year and if you want to play there you are competing against kids playing at pro academies around the world.[/quote][/quote]
