Need your expertise please.
We are in a quagmire. College coach A is pushing dd for a commitment. College A is not at the top of dd's list - it's #3. DD would rather go to College B - it's her #1 dream school. College B is interested in dd, has told her that she's on their short list but it's too early for them to commit (in the past, they tend to commit in early July through end of August).
Both schools have very low acceptance rates - under 15% - only way to guarantee acceptance is through a coach's support. DD is guaranteed admittance into College A but would rather go to College B. But, Coach B has not guaranteed support. If this were your dd, what would you do? (For now, let's ignore any financial aid / scholarship impact)
How do you hold off committing while waiting for Coach B to come through? If we were to tell Coach A we need more time, Coach A might move onto the next girl and pull her support. What if Coach B does not choose to support dd, that means, dd threw away her guarantee at College A for nothing.
Talk about first world problem (roll eyes). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
