Very good, not excellent, in math and sciences.
What are the college options? |

| I will be happy to make some suggestions. Need to know Male or Female? What is the fastest cut they have? Jr Nats, Futures, US Open etc. |

| One more question. Budget? Are u looking for the best school/swim fit regardless of $ or looking for a scholarship? |

What does their coach say? They should have some idea of what level their swimmers should be aiming for—Division I? III? If I, are they scholarship or walk-on material?
It’s impossible to answer this question without a lot more information. |

| My question is about the gpa, not the swim times. Assume that the times are division 1 very competitive. |

| The thing about scholarship has a complicated answer. |

| Very much depends on the school. Need to talk with the coach. |

As an elite swimmer, what schools have approached you? |

That’s a very good question. I am not trying to be snarky, but you can start another thread for that. |

Huh? |

If they’re heavily recruited, the GPA will be a lot more negotiable. |

| There is a big difference from a swimmer fast enough for University of Florida or Bucknell. Both Division 1. So saying “assume DI” is not helpful. Power 4 schools- I’d look at Perdue and GA Tech and VA Tech for stem students, but generally I think large research universities all do STEM quite well. The bigger challenge will be smaller schools with strong stem. They exist, but you can’t assume all mid-size schools have excellent STEM. Emory is also great for science and one of the top DIII schools. JHU also DIII and known for sciences. |

The GPA doesn’t matter if your kid is truly an elite swimmer getting pursued by Power 4 schools.
Honestly, not sure why you are asking the question? As long as above NCAA minimums you are good. |

| If you are a D1 swimmer, colleges come to you summer after sophomore year so you don’t have to ask this question. If you are a D3 swimmer, pick out colleges of interest and start sending emails. It’s really that simple. |
