[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or is a very strong student at a top high school plus a good but not tippity top club/varsity player enough?  Are there many top athletes out there who also have the academic chops to hack it at these colleges?  I am sure it depends on the sport, but how about for sports outside of football and basketball?  If your SAT is in the 1550-1580 range, high rigor at a strong, nationally recognized HS, and let's say you are an ok lacrosse/volleyball/soccer/track athlete, what are the odds that you'd get recruited by a top academic institution?  Obviously no chance at Duke, Stanford and the likes.

I am new to this site and process and curious how it all works. [/quote]

Your question is a good one, but why don't you read the bios of athletes at the schools you mention?  They'll give you a sense of the athletic level required.  My DS plays soccer at a top academic college.  The athletic level required is pretty high, even if the school is DIII.  Most of the players have won athletic awards (county/state first team, etc.).[/quote]

No D lll s do not have any academic rigor that’s absurd [/quote]
