[quote=Anonymous]Quitting or continuing a sport isn't going to be the difference maker for college admissions. Kids change as do interests but that doesn't sound like the situation here. If the family can no longer afford for her to participate in the sport, then tell her that, and deal with the disappointment and fallout (and maybe sock that $4K in a 529 for her). But advising or requiring your daughter to quit something she loves (that you can still, probably afford) because she isn't doing as well relative to other competitors sounds awful OP. The whole notion of strategizing or optimizing is really off-putting OP. You compete in sports to be healthy, to make friends and to improve, not just win. Also - FWIW donut hole families are far more likely to get financial aid and scholarship money at the next level down of colleges, not Ivy-grade ones. Broaden your thinking.[/quote]
