Unless you are a freak of a player, nursing or engineering at a top lax school usually isn't tolerated. We lived it. It was D2 for us because the coach wasn't accepting of it at the D1 programs we looked at. So she ended up as one of the better players on a weaker team but taking the major she wanted. And since my daughter was a mid level D1 player, the 1/8 of scholarship award for $58,000 dollar schools didn't amount to much
