[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know you said you were not looking for advice but…she should consider playing club next year. The sports clubs at large schools are like playing d3 including travel and opportunity for national tournaments. Would she consider rush? Many girls we knew had a better time once in a sorority or some kind of group. Yes I have heard of other kids struggling. Parents don’t post the unhappy stuff on the gram. I use the summer for a reset including a conversation if your child wants to transfer. Good luck!![/quote]

Her DD didn’t make the team. Making club teams in college is hard and they cut a ton of kids that were top of their high school teams. Everything about college is competitive these days. Good luck making it into a top business club or sorority/fraternity. It is brutal. [/quote]

Yes! My kid is on a year-round club team at an Ivy--and is only 1 of 2 Freshmen that made it. He and the other kid did have college offers from D3 and lower D1 schools. They also have a lot of kids on the team that were former Varsity players (college coach is a major d*k) so a lot of them dropped down to the Club team. They traveled all up and down the east coast. I didn't realize how much time/travel it was. I can't imagine at a really large school how difficult it would be to make it as a Freshmen![/quote]
