Differences between competitive day school and boarding school admissions?

With very rare exceptions, BS kids cannot compete in club sports. The primary obligations are to the school and its required activities which make it difficult/impossible for even a day student to leave the campus before 6. Combined with the fact that many BS have Saturday classes, the logistics become a challenge.

So while BS kids do get recruited, particularly in more niche sports, the 1% of the 1% high caliber athlete is usually competing at the club level and attending an LPS/day school, specialized sports academy, or is homeschooled.
