[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are not taking into account the serious negative consequences of taking up a slot and then quitting for academic reasons. The other team members can be absolutely brutal. If this is the plan going in, make sure your DS has a full social circle outside his sport team. [/quote]

This is not a thing.[/quote]
Especially, as others have pointed out, on a team with a total of 7 athletes. Like the other 6 fencers are going ostracize your kid and a single other student on campus will notice? (My apologies to fencers everywhere if (1) that’s not the team we are talking about; and/or (2) they are often the locus of campus social life and I’m too ignorant to know that.)

Take the admissions slot and be happy. Your son will try to make it work with the sport for at least a year if he’s not a completely unethical loser weenie, and if he can’t balance it with his desired major, no shame or consequence for quitting the sport if he doesn’t need the athletic scholarship. Some other kid will be delighted to have the opportunity to join the team. [/quote]
