[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For Carnegie Mellon or WashU? In terms of academic requirements. Thanks[/quote]

My DD was recruited for a sport at multiple UAA schools including WashU and CMU. She was a top recruit and offered by both schools. There wasn't much if any relief in academic standards at either school. I would assume that the 25th pct is necessary and that 50th pct is your target.[/quote]

That’s our experience as well, DC had an 4.8/3.97 GPA, 33 ACT. The athletes we know that attend CMU or WashU are all strong students.[/quote]
The problem we're finding is if a kid has grades and stats to be recruited by these top D3 programs, then he may also be academically competitive for higher-ranked schools, even Ivies, where he wouldn't be able to play. Especially with the right mix of ECs.[/quote]

The kid won’t play because the kid will never be on the Ivy team

A good friend’s son was recruited to play by Chicago, MIT and WashU.

She said Ivy coaches didnt even give him the time of day.

It is what it is…D1 recruits very differently than D3.[/quote]
Who said anything about the kid playing on the Ivy team? We have no illusions about that but why go to WashU if you could get into a better school? Not everyone HAS to keep at their sport.[/quote]
