[quote=Anonymous]NP here. I was in this struggle before with DS who had good grades but not perfect, let’s say top 25% of the class, and wanted to go to a big D1 school for running. The challenge was finding a good match for: Academics Cost Running skill College fit (culture, social vibe, etc). DS matched w top D3s for running and academics but not cost social college fit. Example, Colgate or Davidson are great schools but he would not have been happy. He’s now at an SEC school in a program he loves and is running club track. He also got a merit scholarship so it is not $80k a year+. He is faster than the club team but is also doing other sports and activities and is making friends. He’s not going to be able to make the SEC team ever as those are mostly Olympians and other NCAA phenoms, but his school running career was going to end at some point anyway. He still runs 5-6 days a week. He is happy, most of all. [/quote]
