[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was thinking about this lately too. A family we’ve known since elementary pushed their kid in a certain sport, unabashedly for college admissions. They sold the family business, sold their house for a loss, moved to a much smaller place in a less competitive area to redshirt the kid before high school and go all in for this kid’s sport. The dad even got himself hired as a coach at the HS to be in all the practices lol. But they did it! Kid is a recruited athlete. Was it worth all that sacrifice to land at ivy? Although the sport isn’t really one people do professionally, I think they are playing the long game for the types of things PPs are mentioning here - access to power, enhanced opportunities and dating pool, starting a legacy, etc. [/quote]
