[quote=Anonymous]My DD did not play GA -- she wasn't even in ECNL; she played on a few consecutive EDP club teams that were good but not outstanding. She was a very strong student and also a consistent starter on a HS team that had great success in the state championships her senior year.

She attended a couple of ID camps but was pretty narrowly focused on what she wanted, geographically, from her college, and academics came first. She started making highlight reels the end of her sophomore year, filled out questionnaires and e-mailed D3 SLAC coaches consistently through her late sophomore and all of junior year, and in early summer after junior year went to an ID camp where she just gelled with the coach and team, and loved the campus. She got an offer a few weeks later. She received their top merit award and is now a happy sophomore who would've liked to have had more playing time than she's gotten in her first two seasons, but is overall really satisfied with the academics, her teammates, and the school overall. 
I don't know that she "killed herself" with the "marketing," but yes, she made numerous highlight reels after scouring video of both club and HS games, and consistently e-mailed coaches with those reels plus other updates (a strong new report card, or an honor bestowed by the HS team). It was a fair amount of work. [/quote]
