[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is just starting to put a college list together.  She's a really driven kid - works extremely hard (school) and plays even harder (plays multiple sports and watches/follows college/pro teams in her free time).

She's looking for campus-focused (not city) schools that would be a good fit - basically with kids who share her academic drive and love of sports.

So far we've got Duke, Michigan, and maybe Northwestern. Other ideas?  Are there any Ivys or DIII schools that are particularly sports-focused - like where the whole school gets into it? She really likes the rah-rah school spirit stuff. :)[/quote]

All of these schools are reachs even for highest stat students in the current admissions environment.  You need to be asking about possible targets and safeties.[/quote]

I am. Hence my request to help build out the list. [/quote]

Which is why the big state schools some PPs have disdained should be considered. All are big enough they will have a cohort of high achieving kids, particularly in the honors program/college.[/quote]
