I understand what you are saying about patience but all these schools 2019s are gonna be full by the summer. Only bottom of division 1 and a few here and there will be open. So unfortunately patience is wearing thin. Even West Point has a 2019 verbal. That is crazy!
I don't think that will be the case . Verbal does not mean they are guaranteed any money. If the school or child want to cancel the verbal it will be done. It really means nothing..these schools want the verbal from you this way if 1/4 or 1/2 commit it's a home run. verbals help the parent not the child. If a kid decides he wants to major in architecture why would he go to Hopkins .. think about it..he might have committed to them at first but realized later it wasn't a good fit. What if the school offers them 5k and the parents thought they would get 30k ..then what happens
