ivy league athletic scholarships?

how is it to get an advantage in the admissions process if you are pretty good at sports? i mean i’m not a division 1 athlete but if i do get to state (cali) in wrestling, how much would that affect my admissions process? do they give scholarships to wrestlers and even if they dont offer scholarships, would i get in much easier if i declare that i would like to wrestle for the school team?

While Ivy League schools don’t give out athletic scholarships, they give out scholarships and other aid so that it will cover a coveted athlete’s schools expenses. Basically, it’s a full athletic scholarship. They just don’t call it that. Semantics really.

If you’re a really good wrestler, than get in contact with the school’s wrestling coach. If he really wants you, he can start pulling strings from there. Still, you’re gonna need much better grades and test scores than at, say, Iowa State. The Ivies do take the term “student athlete” seriously.

If you are already Ivy League material (as in, you already have great grades and test scores), then wrestling can give you an admissions edge. How much depends on how good you are as a wrestler, how you come across as a student and as a person in general, and how many wrestlers the school is looking for (not to mention how many apply). But it can definitely give you an edge.

As for scholarships, the Ivy League does not grant athletic scholarships. Most Ivy League money is given based on financial need.

Good luck.

They give “financial aid” – more so than people of similar economic backgrounds get
