<p>I didn’t apply to UCSD, but they accepted me with a $7000 per year scholarship.</p>
<p>oh yea. ps- i am a cross country/track recruit.</p>
<p>I filled out a prelim app for a school while at their open house during my junior year (name, ssn, phone number, address, intended major, and that’s it)…never sent them SATs, transcripts, recs or an essay, and got in with a $17,000 scholarship.</p>
<p>My counselor said she never sent grades…maybe they saw my SAT scores, somehow?</p>
<p>And all the recruited athletes at my school still had to go through the formality of filling out their applications (Ivys and Stanford at least).</p>
<p>zmonkeytoe- where are you going to go and what are your times/events? That is funny that you were accepted without applying!</p>
<p>“And that if she can’t play tennis for any reason she’ll be kicked out.”</p>
<p>That can’t be true, because Ivy Leagues do not give athletic scholarships. Hence they can’t make playing a sport mandatory for recruited athletes."</p>
<p>Not true, i was being recruited for football by HARVARD…they still have high standards for athletes because they wanted me to get a 1250 on the SAT…which is pretty high for ME. Yep, i couldve had a free ride to Harvard</p>
<p>my S withdrew his apps in Dec but still received a scholarship offer from a UC, “even though our file indicates that you have cancelled your application…”</p>
<p>^^Hahaha. I guess they really liked him.</p>
<p>My sis didn’t complete her Lewis & Clark application and she still got a $16,000 scholarship. Bizarre if you ask me.</p>
<p>flakkid- you would not have gotten any athletic money from Harvard. You might have gotten help with admissions, but the money would be all need-based. Repeat- NO ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIPS IN THE IVY LEAGUE</p>
<p>but Ivy league will SHIFT your financial aid to significantly more grants/scholarships than loans or work study. It’s basically giving you money</p>
<p>Reeze- that shift in financial aid happens for very few recruits- if you are at the top of the coach’s list then maybe…</p>
<p>This isn’t an American school, but I was accepted to Brock University in Ontario, Canada.</p>
<p>All I did was fill out the OUAC form which doesn’t even ask for grades, but personal information and past schools and stuff. All I sent was my TOEFL and SAT scores.</p>
<p>I received an FedEx package from them telling me of my acceptance, then requesting a school transcript to be sent so I could register for classes come September and to see if I could be of advanced standing (credits)… :S</p>
<p>The Ivies do shift the finaid for recruit. And I was told (by someone who was recuited) that he has to play that sport at the school. It’s a condition of the recruiting in the first place. Why would they recruit people to the school if they never made the person play the sport? And the think about NO scholarships is just a formality. If you look at the breakdown of a finaid package, some actually say ‘scholarship’. It’s money donated from alumni and if a matriculant meets the specific criteria set up by the donater, then they can get the money.</p>
<p>That is incorrect. The Ivy League does not bind you to play the sport. They recruit you with the strong hope that you will play, of course, but there is no contract or binding obligation. There are no athletic or merit scholarship awards.</p>
<p>i know a few colleges who sent me a likely-acceptance letter without even me applying. I think they find you through collegeboard’s student search services or sth. like that!</p>
<p>i didn’t finish my university of rochester application, and i still got accepted. i didn’t do the supplement to the common application and a couple other things.</p>
<p>johnson and Wales did the samething for me (i wrote the application with a green pen + sharpie + black pen. =_=) STill got in and they are givinig me a scholarship too…</p>
