[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know roughly what percentage of NOVA players actually get selected for a D1 soccer team? Does that percentage differ between boys and girls? Are ECNL girl players and MLSNext players nearly guaranteed a D1 spot?

I'm trying to understand the likelihood of this happening and why we're all killing ourselves driving to the ends of the earth and sinking so much time into this soccer thing. My child loves playing soccer, but they aren't much interested in attending D2 or D3 schools when they know they can get into a top D1 school based on academics and test scores.[/quote]
Being D1 just means the school is larger and plays in certain athletic conferences. It says nothing about the academics of the school. There are many D1 schools I wouldn't consider sending my kid based on academics, even if they could play soccer there. There are D3 schools with top academics. It all depends on what your kid is looking for. Other than maybe 1 kid every 5 years, all of them will not be playing soccer after college.[/quote]
