[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I'm checking out JMU's class of 2020, my alma mater, and one of the schools my DS born in 2006 selected as one of his top schools.

I'm genuinely impressed with the caliber of the players this school that when I attended was not known at all for their soccer team.  We are in Prince William County and play for a ECNL RL team.  I don't think even the legacy and his good grades will be able to help him play for this school.

Any parents out there that were looking into Virginia schools have experience with seeing international players with some international experience.  We're you successful with your DC?  How did you do it?  Any parents wanting to share their current stories on college soccer recruiting for Virginia schools?  I'm looking to learn from the success a d mistakes of others!  :wink: [/quote]

Different scenario because our experience is with girls. Financially, going to a Virginia public school is easier on the pocketbook, or appears to be (I am presuming this is the motivation). However, we had to widen our search because after we analyzed it, there just weren't that many  schools that were good fits athletically and academically. In the end, we found that there were great solutions out of state with funding scenarios comparable to attending in-state. For many of these, you can't just look at the sticker price, because there is a massive range of incentives and variables out there. So my advice is not to limit yourself exclusively to in-state at this early phase. Develop the interest first, and let the financial answers come later.  In the end, you may still have to rule out some offers due to finances, but they can still be useful leverage.[/quote]
