If lax is your kid's only way to ivy - guess what? He's labeled an academically sub par lax jock and won't and will not be capable of assimilating with the rest of academically worthy student body - you know, the students that have nearly perfect SATs and straight a's in all honor classes who are eager to excel in the classroom and are actually interesting. How sad for all you ivy chasers via lacrosse!! Believe me. I was there and everyone knew who those jocks were who otherwise didn't belong. They lived in a small athletic bubble within a huge dynamic university. So for all of you out there chasing the ivies via athletic recruitment - hope you're happy with the bumper sticker.
Two words: academic index
Look it up. All are responsible to meet it. That ensures that the "jocks" are actually capable and ready to meet on the same academic playing field as the non athletes.
Look up the grad rate % of ivy "jocks", now compare that with your acc jock grad rates.
And it's actually a vinyl static cling window decal.
And the jock who started at 350k? He made 875 last year. Not too shabby for a jock.
We only hire IVY undergrad and grad degree associates. Athletes especially. They demonstrate the ability to not only succeed in the IVY classroom; but also the ability to hold down what amounts to a full time job wrt their athletic endeavors simultaneously. They demonstrate extreme team player qualities on and off the field.
It's a nice fraternity to belong to. The strongest of all alumni supporters.
