[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for your thoughts so far...it's been an education.

Not necessarily looking for scholarships (though wouldn't it be nice!), and definitely not willing to sacrifice quality of the school for a chance to play soccer. (Of course, we'll see what DD thinks/wants when she's a little older.)  Again, just want to put her in the best shape possible in case she does want to play. Right now she thinks she does, but she doesn't really know what goes into getting there.

So what about good D3 schools like Amherst, Bryn Mawr, Dickinson, Johns Hopkins, MIT, NYU, Rutgers, Smith, etc.? Is it any easier to get a spot playing there? [/quote]

Rutgers is D1. D3 NESCACs like Amherst and Smith are very competitive. MIT less so, but soccer won’t help her get into the school.[/quote]

Smith is not a NESCAC, and is (along with most women's colleges) a good place to look at for a player who is not on a top team.  Almost all the NESCAC teams are extremely strong and are not realistic for a non-star player.  Dickinson is the sort of place that's definitely worth looking at, along with other non-NESCAC liberal arts colleges.  Spend some time googling the women's soccer rosters at some of the colleges your DD might be interested in, and see what you can find out from reading the player bios.  Most, but not all schools, will have info re where girls played prior to college.[/quote]
