re: Broncos

I know several of the guys who graduated from Brookwood in the last few years. It's been a combination of long-term injuries, teams being cut, and simply a loss of desire to train and compete at the D1 level. If someone like watchout did some research, I'll bet that injuries and a lost desire are common for guys who ran varsity for a nationally recognized team and who made it to NXN and such. Many historic programs like Brookwood often run high mileage and train at a high intensity all four years. Other examples would be York, The Woodlands, and many of the top California schools.

re: Wood

Does anyone know of any Ivy recruits who will be competing at the World Juniors or Commonwealth Games? I think it is unlikely, but just wondering. Thanks.

If you're just squeaking into an Ivy academically statistically, but aren't exceptional in a non-academic facet of your life, you're not going to get in. They want those kids to be the athletes, musicians, actors, artists, kids of famous people, etc. because that gives the most value for the school over just another kid with a 1400 SAT looking to go to an above average graduate school and become a run of the mill professional. That provides nothing for them. But a politicians son, or All American athlete, or world famous musician all bring value even if it's not through academia.

Indeed. Harvard will do what is in the best interests of Harvard. If you want an education, go to Williams or Amherst. If you want to be branded, and be part of a branding culture, go to Harvard.

The main complaint of Harvard undergrads? The educational experience. Enormous classes, no contact with professors, etc. Very capable classmates, but you are pretty much left to fend for yourself academically.
