actually make that 70/30 or 80/20 if I am honest and listen to MY heart/mind ... boy, when "advisors" are shocked you would not pick a certain school over another, it starts to wear on you, lol. But #2 is, well, #2 ... unless, of course, #1 does not come through!
Tallgirl - I completely understand. For S, #1 was clear from the beginning, but with every visit to the other good options he went through the whole analysis again. In the end #1 never changed, but #2 and #3 went back and forth in his mind right up until the day his LL came from #1. I'm glad you seem to appreciate how fortunate you are to have this happy dilemma.
Similar dilemma for D. Back and forth between an Ivy and a T10 D1. Once she made a decision she never looked back and has no regrets. But it wasn't easy. Enjoy the ride!
I think it's really a function of the coaches, the sport, the school and their schedule and the athlete being recruited meaning if you are a top five recruit versus a top 150 recruit. In my daughter's sport being a top five recruit means of the top six schools you get a look, in the three programs where they place a premium on winning you get a serious look in the other 44 programs you need to get into the school first before they give you any consideration. Because of that the top 1-4 athletes get recruited and everybody else is on their own and when you are in that category and get an OV you go right then and there versus saying well maybe it's not my first choice.
