[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all information. We will look into these schools. Some seem like they would be academic reaches. Do they drop their standRds  a lot for athletes.?The only concern we have about D3 liberal arts schools is that except for the very top ones they seem to have so few black students who aren't athletes. I would like DC to some minority peers with interests Other than sports. [/quote]
OP, while D3 does not offer scholarships for athletics, they have the discretion to award aid for merit or leadership or any other reason they choose. While they don't traditionally 'recruit' even the most competitive D3's will allow coaches to have a bit of input into the admissions process for recruits. My DS attends a top SLAC (almost constantly mentioned on here) and he was admitted with a bit lower ACT and GPA than the published average. Not dramatically lower, but they were lower. He plays a hard to recruit football position. We qualified for zero need based aid, estimate calculators said we could pay his tuition x3 so we didn't bother to even fill out the forms for FA.  DS got a scholarship for 25K per year plus an on-campus job working 10 hours per week signing students in and out of the workout rooms at the athletic center and that covers most of his spending money. One thing to note, most D3 coaches won't 'spend' one of their slots unless your child on is willing to apply ED. They seem to have precious few chits with admissions and they try to spend them on kids that are a sure yield.[/quote]
