depends. If youre Asian, they just want to see that you arent a robot. So teamsport would be better. I'd say the least competitive is lacrosse, at most schools those guys are B or C level athletes.

He said to help get into an Ivy, not to play for an Ivy League team. Asians are seen as robotic and succeeding in a team sport would set them apart, even if they weren't good enough to play in college.

And at most high schools lacrosse guys are shit athletes.

ivy lax is very good. not 'kinda sorta good' like yale won a national title, was the national runner up last year and was top 5 this year. 3 of the top 5 programs were ivy and half of the conference was top 20 before covid.

Ivy Lax just jumped up bigtime in past few years. 5/10 years ago ACC schools had *much* better athletes. That's changed.

Wonder how that happened, if there was conscious relaxing of some academic standards

somewhat. there is something called the academic index that basically is a system that split the league into tier so say a Yale couldn't let too many 1100 mo athletes. and as you went "down" the index the numbers got lower so that a cornell could feasibly have a football team with, say, 5 900mos out of 50 recruited. But the equivalent Yalemo would be an 1100mo.

the index was based on average class numbers so you couldnt have more than X number of people who were below the 25% percentile. that's oversimplifying but that's how it worked.

Rudenstine and Dick Levin at Harvard and Yale agreed "this academic index thing is nice, how about we don't use it at all and basically ignore it. no sports recruiting at all is perfectly fine for us because we're the kind of people who dont like sports anyways. amirite?" So Harvard and Yale, in net effect, decided to not field competitive teams and cede that ground to Princeton and Penn. Harvard changes presidential leadership and Summers continues forward with same. Once Peter Salovey becomes Yale president he was famous on campus for going to watch his students play sports, perform plays, etc and basically being an overall great dude. he finds out about this gentlemen's agreement and says "yeah we wont be doing that" and off the races. Yale wins a national hockey title about a year later and the rest of the league decides to catch up to where Penn and Princeton already was and Harvard kinda was already since they had abandoned the notion earlier.

my HS girlfriend was a D3 athlete, and we ended up dating for some of her college life. she went to a very academic D3 school.

she had a friend who was on her team who was valedictorian of her HS and got 1560 on her SAT -- wanted to go to Harvard and play there. harvard basically told her that she could either apply "gen pop" or "sport", and that she should do gen pop because she wasn't a national recruit for her sport and thus would actually have WORSE odds trying to go through the sports route.

i always thought that was odd, but who am i to quibble. jewish girl, too.

this is a possible scenario. or sometimes the coach (and i dont think this happens now since there are really no more autoadmits except for race based stuff) would go "apply gen pop because you will get in and then i don't have to waste an academic index slot on you and still fill a need"

In one notorious example, Tommy Amaker got some JV basketball player with high academics admitted to Harvard as an athletic recruit to balance out the dumb nigs he got accepted. When the JV kid showed up, Amaker told him he would not be on the team, and I believe the university retroactively change the recruiting announcement to remove his name. Kid still got into Harvard so I guess it worked out all around.

Yeah, that's pretty common. I'm familiar with the academic index. From what I understand there's a minimum level any Ivy League school can take for any athlete (something like a 1050 SAT maybe) and the rest is basically that the average of the athletes has to be within 1 SD of the student body. They dip the lowest for star players in bball, fball, hockey, and require scores closer to other students for crew, fencing type shit.

I'm pretty sure some of Yale's success started under Levin. Perhaps he just let hockey lower its standards in exchange for higher ones in other sports, and that's how they won the title in 2015. Because hockey you need to dip a lot academically.

bingo.

hockey basically got good incidentally under levin, but salovey dissolved the practice.

hockey is also a different animal because at that time a lot of the recruits were canadian hockey juniors who were like 20 or 21 as frosh.

pretty sure columbia has a team.

yale at one point fielded a national level club program and dartmouth had a "club" club. speaking anecdotally, of course.

other than men's gymnastics, no other sport had been decimated by title ix like wrestling.

also the idea that someone could "be okay" and get into an EIWA program does not reflect reality.

this thread is wild, brother.

oops yes columbia has a team, my bad.

and yes, wrestling is not an easy sport for ivy admission, especially at the lower end of the ivy spectrum

in any event, 2 fewer schools to soak up recruits makes a difference

Glory was on par with any non spencer lee 125er this year. Kolodzik was a contender. Monday and Brucki looked like AAs. One of my hs teammates wrestled there back in the day when the program was weaker.

Haven't watched a ton of college wrestling but I did watch "Alex and Eli" on BTN.

I had heard these guys were all MAGA types and then I found out a bunch of the former college wrestling stars cucked by criticizing a company because someone there posted the truth about BLM

My high school had a rowing facility, a squash court, and water polo team that I never had anything to do with. Looking back, that should have been a sign.

Also, for chicks, sports like golf are probably the way to go.

this is really just a roundabout way of asking: what is the 'least competitive' sport where Ivy League schools field a varsity team.

the scandal with lori loughlin et al makes it pretty clear that just getting 'recruited athlete' put in your file confers a decent advantage for pushing marginal maybe yes/maybe no candidates through the admissions office, even when the head coach probably won't realllllly lean into administrators on behalf of your candidacy because, for instance, you don't actually play their sport at all.

every ivy makes a pretty big show of fielding basically EVERY div I sport, except that a couple don't wrestle and a couple don't do ice hockey. and (although the recent admin scandal might change things) historically they all definitely gave a fuck about how their school performed in sport overall--cumulative ivy championships are a bragging point even when they come in things like girls LAX and anything where the ivies accept they'll never be competitive with 'big time' NCAA programs.

if you look like you have what it takes to be a standout or well above average on an ivy team and get your resume/highlight reel/whatever in front of the head coach they'll definitely expend some capital to make sure your file gets its 'best' possible look from the adcoms. knew two girls from my sister HS/other top (co-ed) private HS in my city who both punched well above their weight in admissions: had 'plausible' grades/SATs, middling ECs (for top 15 ugs) but were both top 10ish girls golfers in the state. I think the answer to the OP's question is that, numerically, the 'best' shot at a boost comes from becoming an above average player in the least played sport where your target ivy fields a team--probably squash or fencing.

fencing and squash might be gay sports but the absolute best fencing and squash players play for ivies, so i'm not sure that this holds.

i'd probably rather be a pretty good football player with a 1500 SAT.
