[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS wants to play a varsity fall sport senior year. He has has played  Varsity sports all through HS. It is a big time commitment, but he loves it. However, he has a dream of going to a top 10 college, and he has put of LOT of work into that -- not for college sports. His GPA and ACT scores put him in a position of 'almost but not quite..." He wants to have a senior year varsity experience. I feel he should be studying, not to mention college applications and visits. Anyone BTDT and have advice? What to say?[/quote]

Let him play -- schools do look for well rounded students - they'll take a 85 student who is involved vs. a 95 student who does nothing BUT study.  At this point schools look at what he's ALREADY done for grades anyway so he needs to enjoy his senior year NOT to the point of not doing well academically but, if he enjoys the sport he should play!

College visits should already be in the works and some completed already anyway -- if not, schedule some for the next 2 weeks before school does start!!

Try to relax Mom and enjoy this precious time with DS![/quote]
