Hi all,
I'm an athlete in the high school class of 2019 and I'm currently in the thick of the recruiting process. Ever since I was young, I dreamed of attending and competing for Stanford. However, I recently visited Harvard and met with the coach and absolutely loved everything about my visit. I will be returning in a few weeks to attend class and spend a 'day in the life' with some team members. Although I always dreamed of Stanford, something about Harvard made me feel at home and the history of academic and athletic excellent really pulled me in.
I'd love some information on the similarities and differences between Harvard and Stanford student-athletes. Stanford is clearly the better team in my sport, but Harvard's program has been historically excellent and it currently appears to be in the midst of a revival on the national stage.
Although it's early in the process, I am already beginning to worry about my eventual decision. What makes athletics at Harvard special? How is being an Ivy athlete different than the Pac-12? I understand the obvious scholarship difference and such, but I'm really looking for more information about the culture.
Thanks for any info!
