This applies to just a handful of kids. Again delusional parents for the most part. Talk about the bottom 97% of kids that's more realistic the talk about ivies and full rides is overpowering on here
I think lax helping you get into a better school applies to all the kids. Doesn't just mean Ivy. It means it can open up options that most kids without a talent in a sport (or other discipline) don't have. It might mean getting into a school like William and Mary or Colgate (GREAT SCHOOLS) when the next tier or two down academically was all that would have been possible. Or Bucknell, Lehigh, Lafayette or many
others. It could also mean getting into a better D3 school academically than would have otherwise been possible. The ability to use lax to heelp get into a better school applies to many more than 3% of the club playing girls, particularly if they hit the books as well. And yes, for the most talented 3% that also are good students, places like the Ivies, Stanford, Duke Northwestern and a few other extremely difficult to get into schools become realistic, when for most even unreal students, they r not.

Also getting into some state schools from out of state are near impossible ,UVA, UNC, Michigan, William and Mary are a few that fall into that category . My son was near the top of his class w a 1400 on Sat and got flat out rejected or wait listed at 3 of those 4 .
