[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a child who was hoping to be a recruited athlete. We've come to terms with the fact that this will not be happening. If you had a child in a similar situation, did you do anything differently than originally planned with the college applications? Did you change your target schools? [/quote]

DS wanted big academically strong school, not the small, low academic, or lesser known schools that reach out. DS now refocusing on club teams at top academic schools. There are a lot of them.Many schools with out varsity lax, have strong club teams. Look at schools with MCLA Division 1 teams. They will get to play their sport in college and still have time for internships, jobs, greek life, etc.[/quote]

What are some academically strong schools with student bodies of 4000-7000 where Greek life is not significant, and kids can play good club sports? [/quote]

Op here. I’m finding that it really depends on the sport your child is playing. I’m looking at schools that fit our child’s academic profile and geographic preference, then looking to see if they have a club team in our sport. I don’t think there is an easy way to go through this search process other than clicking through school websites. I’m also finding that some club teams are more active and organized than others.
