Maybe an old thread, but a relevant topic.
My D23 is recruited for a sport, but not at the high academics. She loves the sport, coach and would love to play in college. Her stats will likely admit her to much higher academic schools (just below Ivy), but there is a small chance she’d be able to play. To complicate matters, she wants to do MechE, which we are told is NOT a prestige driven major.
To say its complicated is an understatement.
