Her top schools will be those which offer the accelerated programs. After that, she will choose schools with good premed programs. We are still at fence whether she should apply to IVYs. School conselor seems to recommend LACs over IVYs for premed.

Currently she has not marketed herself in any capacity. She has been receiving emails from coaches - I’m not sure it they qualify for recruiting emails? Should she make a video? She has been so busy with AP exam, SAT prep, etc so has not been playing a lot of tournaments for the last month. Also she will be in a summer intensive research program so I don’t think she’ll be playing much. And then comes the fall, when she’ll need to prepare for college applications. I wonder if that can pose an issue if she doesn’t play tournaments in the next six months or so?

Why do you say the camps can backfire? Is it because you don’t play well and the coaches see it?
