[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted on another thread. After seeing DC go through the athletic recruiting process, I think that these smaller schools offer athletic recruiting as a way to hook student athletes who have very high academic stats. The hook is the opposite direction from Ivies or D1 powerhouses that let in athletes with lower academic stats. DC and other recruits have the stats to get in without their sport. The schools are trying to attract these strong students who want to continue playing in college and commit them in ED1. Just my observation. YMMV.[/quote] My DS has been aiming for NESCAC and the like, and this has been my impression as well. There were Ivies and a couple of other D1 schools on his college list as a "Plan B" in case recruiting didn't work out, but the possibility of playing varsity baseball in college kept D3 SLACs at the top of his list.[/quote]
