<p>Do colleges ( especially the Ivy schools) tend to select students who participated in many sports?</p>
<p>Ivies are tougher because they allegedly offer no athletic aid (which is why I didn't apply to any). HOWEVER, if you're good enough, they will find ways around that (I wish I knew that earlier in my college selection process). I have a bunch of friends going to Ivies with grades not nearly as good as mine (Brown - 1280 SAT, UPenn - 1150, 1310 SAT, Cornell - 1280, Dartmouth - 1190). It really depends on how good you are at your particular sport.</p>
<p>Ecliptica, did you go to your school last month to do your paperwork? Do you like the coach a lot? And the campus? S now has D_______on his list. Maybe you can run together!</p>
<p>If you're participate in sports it helps a lot, because it shows that you have committed yourself to a time-consuming activity. However, you can do this with other activities as well.</p>
<p>MomofWildChild - No!! The flight got cancelled because we had a huge snowstorm/blizzard!! (but we did get school cancelled for three days, so that was the trade-off).</p>
<p>I'm flying out Monday morning from Providence and coming back Tuesday evening. My state championship meet is Sunday, so hopefully I'll have some good stats to report to the Coach :). Just from the phone conversations, I really do like the coach, so I hope he's as nice in person as he is on the phone.</p>
<p>What do they think about music? Is that as time-consuming?</p>
<p>Let us know how the trip goes, and ask the coach if he needs a good distance guy for next year's recruiting class. :) (Did you see where Bryan Scotland signed with Penn?)</p>
<p>You know the answer to this question..</p>

<p>Scotland is very good friends with one of my best friends, who also signed with Penn, and I think that helped to convince him to go there. Both my friend and Sctoland are sub-1:54 800 runners and, if my friend didn't get hurt this year, would have most likely been a sub 2:30 1000 runner (Scotland is #1 in the country at 2:27). Penn has a solid recruiting class, especially for an Ivy.</p>
