I could have written your post.
We are struggling with the exact same questions. Her academics and sports make her recruitable at some really prestigious schools. She has offers at a couple great schools, but also offers at some less prestigious schools that she knows will save a ton of money for us. But there’s a couple of D1 schools she loves, but doesn’t want the stress of playing at that level.
She’s at a loss what to do. The coaches are starting to ask her for a commitment and she’s running out of time. Open to any insight from parents that have been through this. I keep telling her it’s up to her, but she says she doesn’t know how to choose.
