[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS was in a similar situation a few years ago. If your kid is not getting a recruiting slot at the Ivy and has no other hook, the chances of getting in are very slim. I don't care what your counselor says. Your kid should take the current offer. That said, you have to tell your kid that it's his decision, not yours. You don't want him blaming you for a bad decision for the rest of his life.[/quote] I think the above is very good advice. That counselor can't guarantee your kid anything. If your child has no hook to get them into their dream schools - chances are sooooo slim. (but I do agree with others saying you should reach out to other coaches at the dream schools they would be interested in to see if they can be considered as a recruit there too - but be careful you don't burn the original bridge!!!)[/quote]
