[quote=Anonymous]I swam at an Ivy. Academics were important to me and I wasn’t good enough for Stanford or the other top academic/swimming schools at that time (think UVA now). So I chose an Ivy over other schools with better swimming programs but lower academics. It was life changing for me coming from the area and background that I came from. This was not at all motivated by my parents. I would love for my kids to play their sport at an Ivy or other top academic institution, but I know it’s extremely difficult, especially in their chosen sports, so academics are first for our family and we’ll see.
