[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Arlington kids seem to go to high academic schools - many are in top private high schools like Sidwell and GDS. Don’t be fooled and think your kid can go to some of those schools from a public high school. They are student athletes for sure. And one of the VDA kids going to an Ivy League school goes to TJ. Academics probably mattered more than soccer. This isn’t an insult — good for these girls! [/quote]

Ivy league schools don't do athletic scholarships, so if a student is getting into an Ivy it's all academics[/quote]

That’s not quite the way it works. Coaches can help a certain number of players.  The academics have to be good but the help is significant. [/quote]

Agree.  No athletic $$, but athletics can get you admitted when you otherwise wouldn't be.[/quote]

Most of the schools on the list you would hope the player can get in without soccer. It is harder getting on the team vs getting in the college.[/quote]

Did you look at those lists?  Many of the schools on that list would be a lottery pick if you had top grades and scores.

UPenn
Vanderbilt
Davidson 
Carnegie Mellon
Emory
Princeton
Stanford
MIT

echo this. You look at this list and last year’s, a big chunk of the schools are sub 10% acceptance rate. Even your best student around here would be rolling the dice to get in, without legacy or other ++.

And to the weirdo who says you can get your kid onto the team with a large donation- have you seen the endowments at most of these schools? Not happening.[/quote]

A donation within the means of people in this area will not get your kid on any team at a decent school.  People here are rich but not with an extra million to throw away.  [/quote]

Grab a clue.  Families in the DMV are donating LARGE amounts of money to get their kids on the end of rosters.  2 of them signed last week at top 20 schools. People are just afraid to call them out...and when they go to social media and blast it in everyone's face it just shows you the arrogance.  [/quote]

TRUTH.[/quote]

I'm sorry but this is BS. Prove it[/quote]

Obviously not provable unless we quote names which no one would do here. But yes it happens and yes we are talking $1million+.[/quote]

Lying by anonymity - nice.[/quote]
