[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is full of morons. These people talking about academics are morons. Duke, UNC, Stanford, UVA, Michigan, UCLA, Princeton, Harvard, Penn State, Wisconsin, Vanderbilt, etc, represent elite private and state institutions of higher learning that also have competitive soccer programs. You can have your cake and eat it too. Get real people.

Graduate programs snd high-end employers will take student-athletes all day long. [/quote]

And kids would absolutely go to those programs if soccer gets them in the school. You are a moron for suggesting otherwise. There is enough money in this area that if Soccer gets their kid into Duke without a scholarship they will take Duke over a full ride at VCU. [/quote]

Or they might take the full ride to VCU. Which would be an amazing accomplishment. I would be ecstatic if my DD had that opportunity.[/quote]

They might, and they wouldn't be wrong, but the point that scholarship money being used as a measure of achievement, when there is so little of it to go around in Women's soccer is pointless. It really does end up being about the best academic and soccer fit possible.

So if a kid wants to stay closer to home, be an impact player and have no debt then a VCU full ride is perfect for them. If a kid, like the VCU, player is a very good player, a strong student but not an elite student and getting in at Duke or other high academic schools was the plan that is great too. Their lack of scholarship does not speak against the achievement either.

Some people want soccer to reduce the college bill and others want soccer to improve the school choices. And for many it is a combination of both. It can be hard enough to accomplish even one of the tasks let alone both.[/quote]

Lots of scholarship money in girls soccer. You’re taking non-sense. [/quote]

There are 14 allowed scholarships per team. Rosters often reach 30 players. Those 14 scholarships generally get divided up so this means very few players ever get full rides and the rest will generally cover 1/4 of the tuition if your player is lucky. And whatever your DD gets can be given to the next hot transfer or Freshman next year.

Not if you get a four year guarantee. Not all NLIs are created equal.

I told you once and I’ll say it again, the kids committing early are the big award winners. As the process goes on, the amount that is available slowly drops. This is the importance of identifying your target school early and establishing a relationship long before they can contact you. That way you can get an early offer and seize what’s on the table.
