[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Note that a lot of athletes just need to hit a certain score. So while your kid might get a 1470 and take it a few more times to get over 1500, an athlete will be told that is good enough and stop trying, even if with more studying and attempts they could do better.[/quote]YYou hit the nail on the head. There is little incentive to exceed the floor, which is given to the recruited athlete. To me, that is one of the few advantages to being a recruited athlete. Playing sports at a high level is a massive time commitment for an athlete and their family. It's hardly a free pass to an Ivy admission even though it may look like it when looking critically at one data point such as low or lower test scores. And to be honest, the Ivies are not necessarily attractive as there is no scholarship money. My family would be full pay at an Ivy even with a recruited athlete but a full scholarship at Patriot or other similar FCS level schools. [/quote]
