[quote=Anonymous]DS is a highly D1 recruit and there are good amount interests from Ivies and very interests from UVA and VT.  We have enough 529 for Ivies and both UVA and VT might give partial scholarship.  DS has OK grade but not good enough to get into Ivies or UVA/VT  on its own but plenty as a D1 recruit.

We visited two Ivies, UVA and VT this past year and DS also talked to several current and former athletes at these schools and they all gave DS these advises:

- choose the school that is right for you and NOT your parents,
- choose the school with the best academic support for athletes,
- choose the school that will push you out of your comfort zone,
- Most importantly, choose the school that has the best athletic boosters with powerful network connections.  Those are the people that will help you get high paying jobs after graduation.

My son is leaning heavily toward UVA because it seems like there are lot of wealthy UVA athlete boosters from his research.  Lot of successful UVA athletes in the DMV area.  We like the idea that he will stay in-state and save money for grad school should he decides to do it.
