[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you need to wake up, OP.

Small colleges need athletes too.  Your daughter may play well enough for them.  She doesn't need to be an elite athlete.

I have no idea what your definition of an overpriced college no one has heard of is, but I think I went to one.  I went on to an Ivy League law school and a law firm partnership.

Please open your eyes.  And even if your daughter is horrible, why would you get off on convincing her of that fact?[/quote]

OMG you are missing the point.

OP is saying that the only recruiters who say that her daughter has a chance are from super expensive private schools with no name recognition. We are not talking about privates like Cornell, we're talking about small private liberal arts colleges where tuition can be close to 50K a year. Unless you're very very wealthy, it makes a big difference if the kid goes to a good state school with a solid reputation (and no chance of making the team) as opposed to paying through the nose for a small private with no name recognition and a chance to ride the bench on their team.

OMG the horror of going to an elite liberal arts college and having a well-rounded resume including a team sport. Gasp![/quote]

If it's worth it to you to pay an extra 30K/year (state schools are about 20K/year) so your kid can play her sport at a small liberal arts, more power to you! It sounds like OP would rather that 120K go towards something else. [/quote]
