[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it depends on the sport. For some niche sports there is no difference in level of competition between D3 and D1 (or D2 for that matter), since the meets are more based on geographic and the competitive level is rather similar. 
Like yours, DC lives for their sport, but did not like ED since they want to compare all their offers. Was recruited in the summer before senior year by a tippy top academic (national university) D3 school in the east cost and easily passed the summer read. Rejected coach's offer to apply ED and instead applied RD. Received Likely Letter in mid-Feb and RD offer in March with some merit aid.[/quote]

Op this is encouraging! But I must admit we are nervous to reject ED d3 spots now because they are being made with merit aid offers. We don’t know if that money will be there if we do RD. DC’s ‘merit’ is more tied to the sport than academics. [/quote]

DC's merit isn't tied to sport. It cannot be in D3. Many coaches will give that impression to stroke your kids ego but the package will be the same either way. There could be merit only available to ED admits but then it is available to any ED admit, not just athletes.[/quote]
