Thank you everyone. Of course, her interests can change and I’m aware that medical schools accept students from a variety of majors. She absolutely loves Biology so I figure that is a good place to start. As I said, she takes a specialty Biomed track at her high school ( https://www.pltw.org/our-programs/pltw-biomedical-science ) along with regular honors biology class. Yes, there are many fine schools in NC but she is a volleyball player and wants to try to play in college. So NC State, UNC - Chapel Hill, and most likely App State are probably out because they all have girls who are 6’1- 6’4" in her position and she is only 5’9. We plan on applying to NC State and App State. We live in Chapel Hill so she doesn’t want to go to UNC-CH. We will have about $70k saved for her by the time she graduates. It is most likely that we will not qualify for any need-based financial aid. I’ve run some calculators online. We make too much money now looking at 2016 taxes, so I’m positive unless disaster strikes that in a few years it will be the same outcome. It would be nice to go to school as inexpensively as possible so maybe some money can be used for grad school or Med school or whatever path she chooses. As far as being an athlete, by Sophomore year you should have an idea of a good number of schools that your interested in to begin contacting coaches etc. She already has had college coaches watch her play and take notes on her online profile (we can’t read them or know who they are just what division and conference they’re in) at some of the big national tournaments that she plays at. A year from now, according to NCAA regulations, coaches can contact her (right now she can contact them, they can’t reach out to her) I was looking for the scholarship info because if its a school that can offer her a great academic scholarship and she can also play on the VB team, its a win win. Worse case scenario is that she goes to one of the big in state schools and plays club. She is passionate about wanting to be an athlete in college. We’ll see what will work best when the time comes. Some of the options on the lists could possibly work, Univ Of Alabama- Huntsville for instance. Thanks again everyone.
