[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then there is the unicorn who is the kid with the top grades and scores who is also a star athlete.[/quote]

Yep.

I have one of those and the results are what one might expect.[/quote]
Not sure what "one might expect," but I guess it would be somewhat sport-dependent. I "might" expect Duke, Stanford, Michigan, or Notre Dame, though they don't have to have the very best academics/scores if they're a better athlete. [/quote]

Most of the schools that you mentioned don't require top grades, only decent grades. My daughter has former teammates at two of them.

For context my kid is extremely good (started for a team that was ranked in the top 10 in the country) but for peak athletics she would be a role player on your typical P4 team. She did very well academically 1560, 4.6, 12AP, etc. so no issues with academics as a bar.

The combination generated minor interest from a couple of the schools above (preferred walk on maybe but no money), solid interest from some Ivies, and a great deal of interest from Patriot League, UAA, and NESCAC schools which I believe is what one would expect for kids of this profile.[/quote]
