[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the kids I know who got into an Ivy league b/c of high grades along with a top sport were financially supported by their parents (i.e., travel soccer, travel baseball, swimming, tennis, golf, volley ball).  None of that would have been possible without tons of extra money and lots of hours spent by parents driving kids and getting them extra lessons with coaches, etc.

Getting a 1500 is a lot easier.  The tests have become much easier, you can prep for it, and even w/o parents shelling out for a prep class there are plenty of free online resources.  Back when I took the SATs, I practiced with the 10 actual SATs the week before, and got 98% (one and done).[/quote]

No, getting a 1500 is not much easier.[/quote]

It is definitely easier than getting accepted into an Ivy with a sport are you high?[/quote]

So now you are parsing things?

It went from "its much easier to get a 1500 on an SAT than to make a varsity sport" to "its much easier to get a 1500 on the SAT than to get recruited for a D1 sport"

When those were proven wrong you are moving to " it's easier to get a 1500 on the SAT than to get accepted into an ivy with a sport"

It's quite comical to see the way the argument evolved, lol.

Ivy sports aren't that strong except perhaps crew, so it is probably easier to get recruited for an ivy sport than just about any other college sports league.[/quote]
