But I would argue that entry actually ISN’T much, much easier. It’s just that all the hard work and rejection takes place before the application cycle. Obviously not every sport is the same, but soccer starts 2-3 sometimes 4 years before fall of senior year. There’s a lot of reaching out to coaches, “interviewing” (coach conversation), vetting of academics – ie they have to be very high/good for selective schools, many, many college visits etc. @Mwfan1921 has written about this more articulately than I can.

I’ve had 3 go through the college process. My athlete had by far the hardest journey. The thing is, though, once they get an offer at one of their top choice schools, then their college process is over, before nonathletes have begun. But just because you see what happens at the end, don’t mistake that for an easy process.
