[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the other thread about cuts, everyone mentioned how you many kids on travel teams since 8 don’t pass freshman tryouts in high school. Even if your kid is lucky enough to make varsity, it doesn’t matter much for admissions. It’s just crazy when it’s so hard to make the high school team [/quote] Who cares? focus on academics. Sports should not have anything to do with admissions to colleges. College should be academically based. Both of mine at ivies, no hooks, no varsity sports, one did JV one year then quit. Both top 1% academically, one truly off the charts. No other country values sports as much as US, it is silly. It is DEI for white rich athletes with mediocre academic stats at ivies, and it shows when they flounder on the calc and econ curves compared to non-recruited freshman. [/quote]
