[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a child who was hoping to be a recruited athlete. We've come to terms with the fact that this will not be happening. If you had a child in a similar situation, did you do anything differently than originally planned with the college applications? Did you change your target schools? [/quote] Yes and yes! Not being recruited opened up some great school options that did not have her sport. She took some time to re-evaluate what she was looking for in a school and reformulated her list. Currently, she is an upperclassman at a school that does not offer her sport and she is thriving there. She also has so much "extra" time that she used to devote to her sport that she has developed a number of new interests. Through these interests, she has found her new "team." It certainly didn't seem like it at the time, but not being recruited was truly one of the best things that happened to her in HS.[/quote]
