Maybe a tad. Although I haven't seen a press conference for an incoming freshman bassoonist, and yet even the Ivies have them for promising incoming sports talent.

But that being said... this isn't a strongly-held opinion, and I'm in awe of anyone going to these schools and what it takes to get there. Being a top talent in one or more sports, and also academically, is amazing, and I don't want to diminish that.
