[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ They’re all in my middle daughter’s orbit - different sports, but same MO with girls claiming to have a specific Ivy offer or commitment early in high school. Then by senior year it’s oh by the way I’m actually going to a place like Pitt or UMBC or Gettysburg... if not even more obscure.[/quote] I have certainly seen it happen where kids/families either misconstrue how firm an offer from a given school is, or are overly optimistic about their ability to meet the academic minimums the coach lays out. Even serious players with solid offers frequently fail to get the test scores needed for a coach to get them through admissions, or they have a disastrous semester and the coach moves down the list for a surer bet. But what I’m talking about are kids who pass the pre-read at top NESCACs but opt for a good D1 school with a strong soccer team, or a kid with a solid offer at Yale who in the end chooses Wake or UVA.
