[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer to this depends on:

The sport

The school (or conference)[/quote]

What sports does he play and at what level?

From my experience, if he has not yet been approached, I'd avoid the WCAC (Catholic school league).  I'd look more at the second level schools (sportswise); the schools in the MAC or IAC conferences. His chance of playing at these schools for four years is much higher then at the WCAC schools.  They have smaller enrollments but higher academic standards and all but two have middle schools if he needs to be redshirted academically.  If you need financial aid, they also have more funds available. No matter which jurisdiction you live, look at ALL the schools in these leagues in DC, MD and VA.  If daily commute is a big 
problem, four have boarding departments.

But remember, YOU have to make FIRST CONTACT.  And once you have narrowed it down, make sure your son has the most say in the decision.  Good luck.

There's a good bit of variance by sport here.  What you said is probably true of basketball but in lacrosse, the top IAC schools (and top to bottom) are better than WCAC.  MAC generally sucks.[/quote]
