[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't you let them be proud of a kid who it doesn't sound like meets DCUM standards? Geez.[/quote]

Sorry - I won’t give liars the satisfaction. [/quote]

I only read the OP.

D3 schools may give students an athletic scholarship under the guise of merit. They still have to meet GPA requirements but the money is obviously for athletics under a merit label. This is not uncommon. So, perhaps they aren't lying.[/quote]

For the love of God stop lying and spamming misinformation. It is against NCAA rules for Division III colleges to give athletic scholarships, period. The means-based financial aid and merit grants and scholarships they give your mediocre athlete kid is the [b]EXACT SAME[/b] financial aid package they give every mediocre student applying. No college is violating NCAA rules so your mediocre daughter can play on their laughing stock sub .500 soccer team. You people are so deluded and bats***.[/quote]

[i]But, you don't understand, my DD is the best player ever, 99% of her travel club is going pro!!!![/i]

Like I said earlier, parents are liars. It's the same thing with Admissions. One mom on our block spammed FB with pictures of her son touring the USNA, MIT, Berkely, Princeton.... only to have her kid end up at, I sh*t you not, The University of Mary Washington.[/quote]

+1. They make a show about “visiting” Ivies and D1 universities, then their kid ends up at a podunk D3 college. It’s hilarious. [/quote]
