[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks to all PPs for the helpful input. The goal is not a scholarship but to use athletic recruitment as the hook to get into an elite school. [/quote] We had a similar approach. DD played travel all year around, 3 years varsity starter, not good enough to be recruited at the reach D-I schools (Duke, Brown, etc) where she would be applying, but qualified academically (single sitting 35.25 ACT, 4.0 UW GPA, 12 APs, etc). Didn't get in to the reaches but has other good options since we live in VA. I'm glad she focused on her sport, but there was an opportunity cost when it came to other activities (i.e. Governor's school, etc) she missed due to the sports schedule. I don't think the focus on her sport helped her when it came to the reaches. The sport was not a hook since she was not good enough to play D-I. If it was D-III, the story may have been different.[/quote]
