Yes they do recruit but the player doesn’t have to be from an affluence or have attended a private school. That’s a worn out stereotype.

I assume you mean the kids living in Arlington and Bethesda areas.
Not the soccer clubs

But I'm sure they don't do better than any other affluent areas in the DMV

What is the pre-read?

Pre read is when the admissions office takes an early look at your application to see if you are likely to be accepted. They don’t really lower the admission standards for athletes. Need to have grades & test scores in same ballpark with the non-athletes.

Bethesda, FVU ( when McLean was in there), Arlington and NVA do.

DP- No. You don't get recruited to Ivys.

Of course you do.

You’ll see more of these high academic commits from clubs in McLean, Bethesda, Arlington. But it’s not because these clubs are doing something special. It’s because the kids in those areas are more likely to go to these colleges without soccer. They have high grades, highly educated and involved parents who have the resources to pay for private high schools and $90k a year for college.

You need to be smart enough to get in.

Boys or girls? Arlington and Bethesda for boys.

I think McLean has the most impressive college placements. I think a lot of the girls also have high academic achievements.
