[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but to be a recruited tennis player at Michigan or the top ivies like Harvard or Princetion, you need to be top 20 in the nation minimum.  Duke, top 10.  Top D3 programs like UChicago, top 100 in the nation.  You can't even walk on to these teams even if you get accepted on your own.  600 you can get recruited to play at D3 programs not ranked in the top 30.  For a high stats tennis player ranked in the 600s, best to go to a top academic school and play club tennis as others have suggested.  [/quote]

Not to be pedantic, but someone ranked #14 in the nation on TR was accepted at Duke (he graduates high school in 2024). Among D1 schools, it's slightly easier to get recruited into the Ivies than, for example, Stanford or UVA because the Ivies don't offer athletic scholarships (at least, not in theory). However, you would need to be at least a 4-star and ideally a 5-star or blue chip. I'm not familiar with top D3 colleges for men, but for women, they are University of Chicago and the Claremont Colleges (Pomona-Pitzer and "CMS" or Claremont Mckenna, Harvey Mudd, and Scripps). You'd probably want to be top 200 for those schools. You could most likely get into WashU, Bowdoin, Swarthmore, Colby, or Caltech as a 3-star. With one or two stars and good stats, you'd have a good shot at Carleton, Haverford, Macalester, Grinnell, Colorado College, Whitman, or Bates. [/quote]
