A question for parents with college experience. If you’re daughter is a top recruit (top 20 ranked) has excellent grades. What type of scholarship should be expected? Ivy is also an option and we would probably qualify for about half tuition. Wondering if it the scholarship money would be be better at a non Ivy but top academic and lax school like NW, Stanford, Duke. Would appreciate any insight!
35% is a great offer unless you are a goalie,where you may get up to 50 or 60%.
For quick math, teams get 12 schollies, which average out to 3 per class.
Most top teams bring in 10 players, 6 or 7 of which get some $$. Assuming the goalie get 50%, then 7 players are dividing up 2.5 schollies.
Most of this ranking of players is a joke, so you seriously can’t go by these ranking lists you always see. Some kids belong on there, and some do not. Having a name on the rank list does not get you offers, although it may open doors to get seen. But coaches will evaluate players and find what they deem as top prospects. A true top prospect player will get 50% - 75% offers from at least half of the major top 10 programs and may get a full offer from one or two of these schools. This is for the first year with room to go to full based on performance. The next wave of schools are the ones that drift in and out of the top 20, say from ranked between 11-30, you will get more full offers, probably close to 1/3 to 1/2 of these schools. And even higher ratio from schools below that. But be realistic, only a small handful of kids fit this description. Think about the top travel team in the nation, and you may get 2-3 kids with these offers. The rest of the players on that same team will see about half that.
