Academic Index and GPA: how hard do the Ivies look?

<p>^^So true - My D is extremely happy rowing for her ivy but I was amazed when she said that more often than not, she is in bed by 10:30/11:00 p.m. - I had imagined late nights burning the midnight oil, but as she explained, when many of your days include double work outs, or even just one very intense session, the physical fatigue must be addressed. The upside is the great time management skills adopted, with academics and training being the priorities, and this is really showing up in her grades. Another good thing is that she still feels she has a full social life as the team is the epicenter of that anyway. But yes, if she was in over her head academically, this would all be very difficult, discouraging and overwhelming, I imagine.</p>
