[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be an athletic recruit in niche sport like Squash.[/quote] Why a niche sport? Football works just fine. Works really well for the rest of the Ivies as well. [/quote] Because thousands of kids will be good at football, and hundreds —or more — of them will also be great students. The numbers change when you’re looking at niche sports. So, yes, being great at football is a plus — if the coaches are interested, but being a national or world class fencer would give you more of an edge — again, if the coaches are interested, because the number of world class fencers who are great students who also apply to Yale with any given cohort is smaller. If the coach needs fencers they’re choosing from a much smaller pool of prospective students. [/quote]
