Any D3 RD? Worried.

Ds is hoping to run at a D3 schools. The coach is interested in him, but he’s not a star athlete. Just a solid high school varsity runner. We thought he was going to apply ED, but ds decided to apply RD b/c while we could swing the cost of the school, he would have to take out more in loans and he’s worried about us financially. He’s a good student with good test scores and he’s been offered a free ride at a state school and he’ll probably get good FA offers from other schools, but he won’t run anyplace but D3. He’s such a good kid and he’s worried we won’t be able to afford his dream D3 school. We want to make it happen for him, though. I hope applying RD won’t ruin it for him.

Does anyone have any experience with applying RD and being able to participate in a sport at a D3 LA school?

Thanks.
