[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They absolutely do. The only kids I know personally who go to Ivys are recruited athletes. (Not in DMV area.) My boyfriend’s ds is a standout soccer player and going to a school he would never get in otherwise. I don’t have any judgment about it and probably see it as an overall fine thing because I don’t really believe in entitlement to spots in college. [/quote] But there is stigma associated with that on campus. The athletes are viewed as weaker students because they got in because of sports. It worth it to take the admit but just be aware of that.[/quote] So what? These athletes run the social scenes at their respective schools, especially at the Ivies. They tend to do extremely well after graduation. Do you think they're losing sleep because some nerd thinks they're "weaker students"?[/quote]
