[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else think that squash teams and all other non-conventional teams should probably be evaluated. Seems like these low-profile sports teams are a backdoor to school admission. Not saying that this is the case for all, but they tend to fly under the radar.[/quote] The Harvard lawsuit on behalf Asian students exposed data which showed that athletes get a significant boost at Harvard and that the prep school students often gravitate to (fencing, sailing, crew, tennis) who are recruited for these sports tend to be wealthy. Of course, the strongest boost of all was given to legacy applicants, who also did sports, who in the words of one Harvard employee "bleed Crimson." [/quote]
