    Verballed: But struggling to meet required ACT admission score to get in

    if they are verbaling as Freshmen, why is 8th grade so early. It really is not and neither is looking at every college campus within easy distance from all those tournaments, particularly the tournaments and campuses outside your area.

    Verballed: But struggling to meet required ACT admission score to get in

    In general, the ACT is somewhat easier for girls than the SAT. a 29 in the ACT will get you into most schools including NESCAC, 31 for the IVY's. Get a tutor, a good one can give her enough tricks of the exam to grab those extra points. All the standardized tests SAT and ACT included, are an...

    Williams is a GREAT school, #1 academically d3 #1 for all colleges, including Ivy on several rankings. Coach Herman is a really good coach and always has a competitive team, often in the NCAA's and has been to the D3 World Series Williams town MA leaves something to be desired, easiest way...

    Questions before verballing/Div III/NESCAC

    NESCAC, first congratulations, all the CACs schools are great (not good, GREAT schools). My daughter graduated from Tufts last May. The coaches, in general, get 3 pushes in admissions (players on the bubble who the coach can draw attention to). The push is no guarantee of admission. No academic...

    Recruiting question

    College axiom, if you hit you play, period. Does not matter who else plays the same position, if you hit the coach will find u a place. One NH player went decent D1 program, a 1st base/ OF, hit the cover off the ball in the Fall and at Winter practices, 2 weeks before the season she was told she...

    Recruiting question

    Why play "tourney ball" after senior year? At this point it would be 18U with most of the team 1st year trying to catch college coachs' attention at showcase tournaments, been there done that haven,t you. Go 18+, all college players, much more relaxed than 18U and she gets the feel of playing at...

    There is no alternative girls sport for football, baseball is a good alternative to softball.

    recruitment vs. scholarship

    If your DD wants to go to med school, think NESCAC, New England Small College Athletic Conference. Some of the best schools in the country, med schools are loaded with their grads. Academics always come first and they all have great athletic programs. Look at the NESCAC site NESCAC look at all...

    pitchers cleats

    My DD has worn Mizuno for 6 years. She used to pitch and play ss, now she is strictly field. They have held up better than any other cleat, 1 pair per season with no tears, split seams etc. Plays 80-90 games a season (not bad in NH). Looked at Ringors and declared them way too heavy and refuses...

    College Camps in the Boston area?

    Tufts runs a 3 day camp that starts right after the nationals are over. Coach Milligan has D1, D2 and D3 coaches work the camp along with her players (ranked #4 in D3 in 2012). The camp schedule is such that you can visit many of the Boston area schools as well as the many schools within a 2...

    getting noticed by colleges

    I would certainly endorse the 4 schools mentioned by Greenmonsters. My bad on Mt Holyoke. Embarrassed by missing Skidmore since I lived in Saratoga for many years and rented apartments to Skidmore students. Smith will get better, Whitney Mollica is the head assistant and doing great things with...
