<p>Just a word of warning with regard to Ivy athletic recruitment. Last fall, a close friend’s son was contacted by an Ivy swim coach. He was asked to come up for an official visit in late October/early November. With just days before the early admission deadline, the coach urged this young man to apply. He scrambled to get paperwork and application in on time. When the decisions came out, he was flat-out rejected. No explanation and no further contact from the coach.</p>
