[quote=Anonymous]+!  Similar situation.  Selected based on educational opportunities at a university although he thought he would love playing for the LAC.  Knowing him well, we advised him to really think about whether he could see himself on a small campus for 4 years especially if injured.  The university opened up not only the opportunity to play that sport but others plus a multitude of ECs in his other interests. He's very happy.  All this to say that the athletic offers are very flattering but these athletes have often been so focused on their sport, it's hard for them to see beyond it.  If the offer is clearly for a top choice school w/o the sport and it helps with admission, take it and run.  But if you have an uncomfortable  feeling about the match, acting as a sounding board (not the decision maker) is not a bad thing.  BTW - The D3 offers were made for the ED cycle and then offers to play extended to RD once he was admitted on his own academic merits.  Turned out great as he felt no obligation to play when different interests arose and were more compelling.  It was nerve wracking in the interim between the early and regular admission cycles.  Good luck on your journey.[/quote]
