[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, has your DD looked at top 20 non-Ivy schools? I know kids who have received significant scholarships to play their sport at Rice, Vanderbilt, and Georgetown. Know a couple receiving less money at Northwestern. [/quote]
Those are all D1 schools, I believe OP said D1 does not appear to be an option. If so, though, yes, there is athletic scholarship potential at all of those schools, plus Stanford. [/quote]
Ivies are also D1, but unlike other D1 schools, they don’t provide any athletic scholarships. The OP said her DD wasn’t good enough to play for the public universities on her State, but depending on the sport and her academics, she might be at a level where she could play at a non-Ivy D1 in the top 25 or so.

Good advise but the top non-Ivys only give athletic scholarships to the very top recruits and while she could make the team she likely wouldn’t be getting any $$$. If you are paying for out of state tuition it’s not that much more to just suck up the extra cost and go Ivy. [/quote]
