[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing you have to consider when looking at numbers specifically in the DMV area as well is what level or school some kids/families are willing to accept. Many players from VDA for instance will take a D1 offer from a Radford, ODU or VCU where as a player from Arlington, Mclean, Vienna will not in a lot of cases. Not that there is anything wrong with those schools, its just families from certain areas of the DMV wont sacrifice academics just to play soccer even if its a D1 school. They are looking at higher academic schools like Georgetown, Duke or Stanford or would even take a higher academic D3 over a mid tier D1 and if they can't get in through soccer they will still try to get in through academics where as many kids from other parts of northern VA would gladly take it [/quote]

Yes agreed. Our oldest DD had offers from George Mason and ECU to play D1 but chose to go to Columbia and plays on the school club soccer team and couldn't be happier. Nothing wrong with that. Our youngest hasn't decided what she wants to do and has plenty of time to decide but she has teammates that want to play at UNC and UVA. If they didn't get in to a school of that caliber to play soccer I doubt they would settle for a mid level D1 knowing the families.[/quote]
