I agree with the conclusion of your previous post and it is particularly applicable to the examples in sluggers post since those schools are inundated with acceptable students. They're looking beyond academics and splitting hairs to decide which ones to admit as Coach JV posted.^^^^^Point missed.Are you kidding?That said, I would only consider leveraging up to a school if she is realistically very close to to being accepted on academics alone.
Pass up a chance to go to Harvard, MIT, U of Chicago, or Stanford so that you can devote more time to learning how to catch a popup?
Sparky and I know kids who leveraged their softball so they could get into Harvard, Stanford, U of Chicago, and Colgate.
Those schools are in a whole different league than other universities.
More along JAD's line, the schools who accept lower academic admissions standards from athletes have likely figured out exactly where the line in the sand needs to be drawn in that respect.
