If a student is admitted on the category of "Athletic Recruit", his academic performance is not the same as his fellow classmates who are admitted on regular channel.

There is a formula called Academic Index which is agreed by the Ivies. The Academic Index calculates your GPA or class rank, plus the score of SAT 1 and the scores of 2 SAT II.

On average, so long as you have 1,800 SAT I, GPA of 3 or above and 2 SAT II of 650 or above, you will meet the minimum requirement. The Ivies agree not to admit any athetics of an index lower than a certain point (180?). Once you reach the threshold, you can be admitted so long as your sport performance justifies your admission.

港青有一萬蚊獎學金，港隊可以最高攞五萬，每年評核一次，表珼優異可以繼續攞。以每年四萬二千蚊學費，如果攞到盡都可以夠交學費。如果阿女繼續做港隊，佢每年嘅資助都夠交學費

What University you can enter into by "Athlete Recruit" depends, to certain extent, on what types of sports you play.  Harvard may prefer more of "basketball player" than "swimmer".  even with the same academic level.

My son's pre-school in the US, for example, those got the Athlete Recruit places for Havard are all Div I baskerball player.

Good swimmers are going to say UCLA, USC (the studied in DBS with last name Lam) and Middlebury (top liberal arts college. the boy is from St Joseph).

The other factor is whether you apply for scholarship. If you are willing to pay full tuition, the chance of being admitted is higer.

Oh. But one more point. US universities are more flexible for sport recruitment. They will give unconditional offer (for Div I sports only) even when you are in Grade 11.

For HK, as far as I understand, univerisities have that "sport recruit" categories just for a couple of years. May be a bit tight in giving offer.

依家海外嘅學校都幾搶錢，係咪full pay都係考慮因素有朋友明明有居英權，英國嘅U都要佢簽紙放棄可享有嘅權利，要比海外學生嘅費用。

Your observation is very thorough and fair. I personally know two case of athletic recruit to Harvard. One is a girl recruited in the swimming team in 2011. She came from an international school in Hong Kong side, Another is a boy from DBS [in late 70'] for American football. I would have imagined that the colleges are generous to give scholarship to athletics because they can gain money for the colleges so long as their performance justifies for admission.

The fee status does not depend on your nationaity, but depends on whether you have been a resident of UK for 3 years or more before you apply for admission.

As far as I know, the offer from US colleges are all unconditional no matter you are admitted on the strength of your academic performance or on the basis of athletic recruit.

阿女之前申請嘅英國大學學費由一萬幾英鎊到二萬幾英鎊都有，仲未計宿費同生活費。你要預25至40萬一年，視乎邊間學校同邊科。
