Hi Folks!
Anyone with D3 high academic/Ivy timetable advise? DD has the test scores, grades and has visited several schools, mostly playing at camps. She's a Junior. She can probably get into all these schools, but really wants to go where she can play ball.
She has 5 top prospects-an Ivy and 4 other schools from the NESCAC and NEWMAC conferences, most of the coaches have seen her play either at Headfirst and Pennsbury, or at their school's camp, or both.
She is definitely getting some personal e-mails but they are pretty general and it's hard to know how many girls are getting them. Her top coaches have all said" keep in touch" but when asked where she stands, answer is " I don't have my list yet, keep in touch". Obviously she's not the top recruit, but does that mean she's not really in the running?
It seems some of these coaches are "done" recruiting this summer for 2018 in terms of "pre-reads" and "verbals". So if that is the case, is there no unofficial visit? My DD would like to meet the teammates before making a decision, is this done by requesting a visit this spring, or do girls decide without meeting the other teammates? Or does everyone except genuine phenoms pretty much wait til Fall of senior year at this type of school?
Also we haven't gotten our travel coach involved, but if there are 5 schools she is very interested in, does she go after all 5, or wait til she has more personal clarity?
Thanks for the help and insight.
