[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my kid picked up the sport relatively late, after sophomore year - and has offers of support from multiple WASP schools - likely would have been D1 material if started earlier - but was able to enjoy childhood and school years as a multi sport athlete. Many of our friends have sold their souls in pursuit of ivy end game [/quote]

[b]What’s a WASP school? [/b]

the 4 best D3 schools for academics, many believe they rival the top ivies [/quote]

They aren’t the 4 best D3 schools for academics…JHU,
Chicago, MIT and CalTech rank above them when they are all ranked together.[/quote]

Not in sports they don’t. These are not serious schools for a serious athlete. Let’s try to keep focus here. Schools with decent to good sports that are also a place to get a good education [/quote]

JHU is very much a serious schools for athletes. MIT too for some sports, they are very strong in T&F at the D3 level. Chicago has some competitive teams, CalTech no, most definitely no though they do recruit.[/quote]

DP. You are saying MIT is strong in T&F with a straight face? I think we have very different ideas about sports… [/quote]

Womens track and Field? Absolutely. They aren't power 4 but they are plenty competitive with their actual academic peers in D1.[/quote]
