I have received a couple of replies to my posting and would like to
clarify something.
        There is no inference in my posting disputing the admissions process
in the Ivies. I didn't say that there is cheating going on regarding the
admissions process. I know that the Ivies hold to their admission standards
regardless of whether you are a student athlete or not. There's a formula
that is used and if you don't come up to a certain number then you are
 rejected.However, I know that a coach can apply for a waiver, from the
 admissions
department, and they in some cases allow it and in others reject it.
        What I did say that I found it hard to believe was that all things
being equal, the finacial aid department can award more money to student (B)
than they would to student (A).
