[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women's ice hockey is actually a much better way to get into an ivy league school than figure skating.[/quote] Well….of course. Figure skating isn’t an NCAA sport…of course the Ivy needs to have a team. Not all do.[/quote] It's a niche sport, sure, but plenty of wealthy people care about it, and some great schools also have great figure skating programs. Dartmouth, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, BU, Cornell, etc all field competitive figure skating programs now. There is actually a high concentration of skaters from the better schools, so perhaps there is a correlation between the grit it takes to train, starting as early as 5 am, for 3-4 hours every morning before school, and success in school. Like almost all college athletes, figure skaters will go on to do other things after college. So what? [/quote]
