How stupid are the people saying an Ivy league school will take only people that can write the check, the acceptance process to these schools are brutal, how many kids that could write the check, or play lax, or both get wait listed or denied because of poor grades. I mean a kid from William Floyd just got accepted to all the Ivy's and I'm positive his family can't write the check, or play lax, and he will not pay a dime to go.
Most of the IVY's are 56-60 thousand with no athletic money but most will get a nice chunk of academic change. If your kid can play they really have a lot of flexibility on the entrance requirements. But that is also why ivy's offer commits late they want to see how the kids test and do in HS as opposed to some big time sport schools who will lock up a 6th grader who can't spell as long as they can play
