Yes, the admissions boost is a big motivating factor for most of the families we know, and for good reason. We know lots of kids who used their sports talents to help get into top colleges. Contrary to what you always read on DCUM, we also know plenty of kids receiving significant athletic scholarships at excellent schools.

This is true for the middle class and above. However, there are situations where economic hardship cases get the money they need to attend college through non-revenue sports scholarships.
