[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Arlington kids seem to go to high academic schools - many are in top private high schools like Sidwell and GDS. Don’t be fooled and think your kid can go to some of those schools from a public high school. They are student athletes for sure. And one of the VDA kids going to an Ivy League school goes to TJ. Academics probably mattered more than soccer. This isn’t an insult — good for these girls! [/quote]

Ivy league schools don't do athletic scholarships, so if a student is getting into an Ivy it's all academics[/quote]

That’s not quite the way it works. Coaches can help a certain number of players.  The academics have to be good but the help is significant. [/quote]

Agree.  No athletic $$, but athletics can get you admitted when you otherwise wouldn't be.[/quote]

Most of the schools on the list you would hope the player can get in without soccer. It is harder getting on the team vs getting in the college.[/quote]

Did you look at those lists?  Many of the schools on that list would be a lottery pick if you had top grades and scores.
