<p>I agree with the feelings of the student/athlete in the article. Receiving an Ivy “likely” feels like one foot is in the door, but believe me, there is still plenty of anxiety as decision day approaches. We assume an athlete’s application will undergo scrutiny, just like everyone else’s. And no one at our house is wearing school colors yet :)</p>
<p>Also, knowingly trading “full-ride” combination academic/athletic scholarships from other programs in exchange for the opportunity to study at and compete for an Ivy League school, and paying full-freight to do so, is something that must be carefully weighed.</p>
