[quote=Anonymous]It's not gaming the system. The Ivies don't provide athletic scholarships and students are students first, not semi-pro athletes. It is really hard to be an excellent student and play sports. Many students drop out of sports in college, because of this and it is perfectly fine. Many others manage to do both and benefit from it. Keep in mind that the AD and coaches at the schools and your DC's own high school coaches can tell if he has a passion for the sport and wants to keep competing. They will be loathe to use one of their slots with the admissions office for someone who hints at dropping the sport. [/quote]
