Premed, wants to play soccer.

Cannot comment on the residency. However, have been through D1 recruitment process with field hockey playing daughter. You’ve indicated club participation - are you deep into the national and regional showcase/national recruiting tournament process at this point? If not, you’re already a little behind in process for the top soccer D1 schools as a rising junior. Get highlight video done ASAP to send to coaches - her talent level could help narrow the school focus based on level of play (D1, D2, D3, NAIA) to minimize some of your stress. Pre-med extremely hard with any of the intercollegiate levels, but certainly not impossible…she just needs to decide now. The recruitment process adds a significant amount of stress into the process. Remember, many outstanding schools - like UNC, Texas, UVA, etc - all have AMAZING club soccer teams that allow the student to burn stress, have some fun, have social connection, stay with their sport, travel a little…without the serious NCAA time constraints and restrictions.
