[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In short, legacy really varies from school to school.

For athletic recruits (meaning the coach wants to give you a slot), there are academic standards, but they are lower than what it take to get into the lottery for these schools.  Cousin was recruited for HYPS, had choice for her sport (and older sibling was recruited athlete at HYPS and at H at the time).  Decided not to play sport in fall of senior year.  Had to resit for SATs to get a competitive score for an unhooked applicant.  Rejected/waitlisted at HYPS but in at one non-ivy top ten.

The options are completely different when you are at that level athletically.   That said, not that many kids are that good athletically.  Just being an athlete without that level is just another EC.[/quote]

Just curious: why did they not play senior fall? Injury? Lack of interest? DD dropped travel team, but continued to play sport senior fall. They unexpectedly won regionals, then onto state. Glad she didn't miss it.[/quote]
