<p>Since most college pages have one for RD applicants; I thought it might be a good idea to do one for recruited athletes. Include the colleges that you were recruited too and of those which you were accepted to.</p>

<p>^^nice idea but I’m not sure that informative for recruited athletes.</p>
<p>for my d it goes like this:</p>
<p>SAT: 2300 (800 math)
national champion athlete (stack of gold medals)
recruited by almost everyone</p>
<p>and most recruited athletes are only accepted by one school because they only apply to one school.</p>
<p>agree with pacheight. </p>
<p>Additionally, many folks want to remain anonymous here, and don’t feel free to openly share easily-identifiable information about their children. Posting the sport, the school, and the athletic stats that earned them recruiting attention generally points those who follow the sport to a specific kid. I’m certain my kids don’t want me posting their profiles on this website. I understand students do it on college-specific or “chances” threads, but there’s a lot more anonymity without the layer of athletic specificity. It’s not just athletes: I’m sure musicians would be the same. If you posted your stats and that you won a particular piano competition, people in that world would have you pegged. </p>
<p>I’m always happy to respond to PMs about Ivy track/XC and will share details about stats one on one.</p>
<p>I agree with pacheight and riverrunner’s observations.
Exactly, and for that reason the standard CC accepted/waitlisted/rejected format doesn’t really apply. The reality is, if a well-informed athlete approaches the recruiting process realistically, their chances of a waitlist or rejection are next to none.</p>
<p>Ivygolfer,</p>
<p>In lieu of your request, I can give you a pretty good idea of what it takes in this thread. What you will see are very strong AIs for these athletes.</p>

<p>Keep in mind this captures just the academic side of the equation. In addition, all of these athletes were in demand (athletically) by their current coaches & programs plus other coaches & programs.</p>
