Why top high school athletes should go Ivy

I think Ivy coaches inquire what major the athlete is leaning toward and then advises them if it’s doable factoring in the rigor of practice and competition schedule. Or the coach may steer the athlete toward a certain college if the fit is better for the major and admissions standards. FA reads are great if that Ivy can produce one (estimated award) for the athlete prior to his or her OV. That way both the parents and the athlete know up front if they can commit at the end of the OV.
At least that was our experience and the process was wonderful and seamless.
Bottom line, every Ivy is different in how they approach FA and recruiting but they really are the best deal $$ for an athlete.
They don’t say “It’s a 40 year decision, not a 4 year one” for nothing.
