Sara wants to be a business major. Sara also plays soccer. Sara’s parents make 250,000 a year. Sara doesn’t qualify for much aid. Sara’s parents can help with the cost. However, Sara’s parents also want to retire at some point. In order to do this, Sara’s parents try to find ways to minimize cost while achieving the same outcome for their kid. Sara doesn’t want to start her post college life in massive debt.

Sara has 5 offers from various schools that are similarly respected. The soccer programs range from Top tier to bottom tier.

What should Sara do?

A. Pick the school that has the lit soccer (1-100) program but requires her to get a 100,000 dollar loan

B. Pick the school that has the decent soccer program(100-200) but requires her to get a 50,000 dollar loan

C. Pick the school that has a bottom tier soccer program (200-300) but pays in full.

This really is not representative of most decision matrixes.

A. Pick the school that has the lit soccer (1-100) program that she will never see meaningful minutes for her first 2 - 2.5 years. ($100,000 loan because no scholarship)

B. Pick the school that has the decent soccer program (100-200) that she may see meaningful minutes by sophomore year. ($50,000 loan due to partial scholarship)

C. Pick the school that has a bottom tier soccer program (200-300) where she will be a impact player and receives a full scholarship.

And then there is the following matrix:

A. Pick the top soccer program at a school she could have gotten into without soccer and rarely play.

B. Pick Academic school that she might not have gotten into without soccer and play meaningful minutes as a sophomore

C. Pick a prestigious academic school that she never would have been accepted without soccer and be a impact player.

Y’all, check the current rosters of the prestigious academic D1 schools. The players there are top 2 percent players. Your DD needs to be among the best 4 players on her team to even be able to walk on at those prestigious schools, without any $$. Ivys don’t give sports money. The remaining top academic schools will give money to maybe 4 to 7 girls a year, and those girls are verbally committed by the end of their junior years in HS.

How about just check the roster at your Top 25 soccer program and look at the number of worthless degrees being obtained.

Order of importance

1. Type of degree and money spent to obtain
2. Prestige of school
3. Strength of soccer program

Again, irrelevant. We aren’t talking about other kids, we’re talking about you and your kid. What would YOU do. Apparently you have trouble worrying about yourself and your kid and would rather simply judge others. That indicates a weak character and likely someone that follows and does not lead. Lemme guess, you’re a mid level worker bee in a large corporation who is disgruntled as to why they can’t get ahead in life.

Did you actually read my post? Apparently you didn’t go to college. Read it again. S L O W.

Some poster on here thinks the most important factor to consider is the ranking of the soccer program and I beg to differ.

Don't know if that was you or another of the charmers on here but who cares. I stand by my opinion.

No. I said the exact opposite. I didn't even mention soccer. I said if my kid wanted to study engineering my first choice would be Tech. Period. Regardless of soccer. Furthermore, I'd pay the tuition (after 30% discount in the PP hypothetical scenario) over a free ride to GW.. Avg. starting salary out of Tech is higher, especially for engineers. When you add in the fact that Tech is an ACC school and my kid could play in that conference and get to go to big time college Football and Bball games and get to enjoy a full university experience (vs. that which GW offers), do real, meaningful research projects that make a difference (like Flint water issues), and get to experience the outdoors and nature and beauty of Tech, vs. getting car-jacked in DC, it is a no brainer if you can afford 70% of the tuition (which I can). BTW - you didn't express and opinion, you simply made a non-sensical statement about studying engineering a G'town (which no one said you could do). So while I may be a charmer, you're simply a moron.

Tech would be your first choice for engineering? What about MIT, Stanford, Caltech, CMU, GT?

Getting car jacked in Georgetown?

This is some FCV mom nonsense. Keep trying to justify your poor life decisions.

We weren’t talking about other schools. Go back and re-read the posts. Yes MIT and Stanford, etc. are superior. No one’s debating that fool. Yes, you’re much more likely to get carjacked in DC than in Blacksburg. Even in Georgetown. Not sure how you don’t know that, but understand that you’re having trouble following reality. That’s ok, low IQ people can post here too.

Anyhow, how many girls have Loudoun, Metro U, VDA, and BRYC combined placed at GW or G’town or VT in the past 4 years? Now compare Arlington, McLean, and FCV. Let’s see the facts. BTW, I dislike FCV, but do acknowledge their track record with a very narrow, selected slice of their female paying customers. The rest of their program is a joke and is used to subsidize a small few coaches that do a nice job for one girls team per older age group. It is a boutique club for top level girls in NOVA. Kind of liking working out at TSJ and paying $20 for a poorly made hamburger is “boutique”. A small set of people will pay for this keeping over the Jones status. CZ knows this and takes advantage of it, but at the same time does the work to help those select few get landed at D1 schools. It is not one or the other. It is both. For most, FCV is a joke, but for the select, rich, privileged few it is worth it.

Track record of Arlington, McClean and FCV parents socioeconomic status going to two private schools and one public school versus others? How asinine.

When defeated by a sound argument, change the narrative. No one was talking about socioeconomic status. This all started from PPs theoretical question. You’ve all missed this and stray due to your low IQ.

Takes one to know one—can your low IQ figure that one out? If you can’t even sense the stupidity and bias of your argument, you are dumb. If you purposely made that argument knowing it’s biased, you’re hopelessly arrogant. How many Metro, VDA and BRYC parents can afford to pay the rest of or all of the tuition at GW and GTown compared to Arlington, McClean, and FCV parents? For most those private school options are not options primarily due to cost, not solely due to soccer abilities. You have posited a dumb premise.

[Anonymous]

I think everyone should discount any commit to an IVY or D3. Those schools are not about soccer and all you have to do is show an interest and you can play there. I would also put GTown in this bucket in our area. If you are looking at commits - McLean has a ton of IVYs or D3 because they are most likely legacy or come from wealthy families who very much value those reputations. The soccer team is a consolation prize for the kids.

FCV has connections with only VA Tech and W&M. If you want your kid to play there - then call Christian and let him know.

No, they don’t—even affluence has it’s stratification when it comes to being able to pay the higher education tuition at private institutions. Some players are granted financial support to play, too.

BRYC is never going to be really fish from the same pond as Arlington and vice versa.

Playing for McLean and living in McLean are two different things.

[Anonymous]

That's true but compare the composition of players from Arlington playing for Arlington, players from McClean playing for McClean compared to the percentage of Arlington and McClean players at BRYC, for example. Maybe check the IQ scores of the players and their parents, too, while you're at it for the arrogant poster who always assumes everyone but themselves has a low IQ.
