Claysoul- My bad, I meant FA, but it is kinda sketchy, but all in all its still FA. I didnt proof read.

MissFiskeGuide- Im not going to lie, its sounds like a viable option. But it doesnt happen, D3’s dont give out scholarships only financial aid, and not good financial aid at that. Therefore most players dont even bother looking there. As well, D3’ schools dont have much pull with admissions. The typicall athlete isnt bright. They have a better shot with a d1 coach pulling with admissions than a d3, thats because sports mean nothing to a d3 school. Which is why their d3… I beleive though OP is posting this, thinking that playing highschool tennis is going to be enough of a backdoor to sneak into the school (if im wrong, Im sorry op). Also D2 schools dont have much academic recognition, so it is the general perception that the kids care more about messing around with lower level tennis than there academics. D3 schools are very respectable like JH or MIT, but theres not much money to go around and admissions norms basically crush your statement (sorry). It is because of this D2 and D3 tennis is a joke, ASIDE from a few exceptions. I have heard stories of south americans playing d2 tennis because their academics were not high enough to get into any d1 schools, and their tennis being extremly respectable. All in all, is it a possiblity? yes. Likely? no.
