Yes it only does apply to a small percentage of kids overall. But certain communities on LI send boys and girls every year to multiple Ivies and top academic schools because of lax. I'm not saying these kids wouldn't have had a chance of getting in otherwise, but it would've been much more difficult and without the guarantee. Don't discount it. It's a great way of getting your foot in the door especially if your Long Island HS or club have a history of sending lax players to those school.BfAWVZ |
