Schools are waiving SAT and ACT for several reasons. Covid is one but there is also litigation arguing the SAT and ACT are biased towards under performing schools and students thus preventing them from getting into good colleges. They want to eliminate SAT and ACT test entirely. Game footage is mandatory it seems. Several coaches talked to her about their programs while she was at ID camp 2 months back and they asked for game footage video which we did not have due to canceled spring and fall season. My kid is 4.5gpa and as a junior she is already taking 2 college courses. Academics are the key to her college future and career in life. Soccer is just an added bonus if a coach has interest.

Agreed. I just feel bad for the kids that got caught up in this mess. And at the risk of sounding cynical, I think asking for recent game footage now is another layer of unnecessary BS this cohort of kids is gonna have to deal with. Sad.
I understand why a coach may want recent film under normal circumstances but I just don’t see film provided during Covid as being of much value. Kinda seems like folks are going through the motions and checking boxes.
I know of a coach ((not one my kid is looking to play for, FYI)) who is waiting so he can see who is truly in love with soccer & school. He told me he used to lose half his recruits because of burn out and over use of the female body. Some with tears and rips and some girls are just tired. Dad is not around to make sure she's at practice and they quit. 100% can understand that. Although these last 10 months have been hell on so many of us, we will be better and come back even stronger. Education is super important for all folks and I hope all can get access to it. No more paying people to take the SAT test for their kiddo or pay $250,000 for a spot. That's good coin btw
Happy, I'm not going to debate this anymore with you. On December 2 you posted "I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WITHIN THE SURF ORGANIZATION " but yet you post 400 teams dropped out without any direct knowledge of it being accurate. That is just plain trash talking a club and I will leave it at that.
Yes, I hope to get some good footage to add to my kids highlight video that a company is preparing for me. Thank you for wishing my kid my kid success.

I agree, but be careful. I attended public universities and graduated from professional school with no debt. School is so much more expensive now and young adults are starting their lives burdened with substantial debt. I doubt that I would attend law school at today’s prices.
Coaches are still recruiting but have changed methods due to the China virus. They did not know if there would even be a season for college soccer and seniors are afforded another year of eligibility due to the virus disruption of the normal season.
3 coaches that have seen my kid play at ID clinics have asked for game video so I need to help my kid get some. 90% of scholarships are for academics so that is what she focuses on and if she gets a chance to play at the college level that's an added bo us. She is choosing a school that has degree fields she is interested in not because they have a good or average soccer program.

And they play with their HS friends and often times against their club teammates from the other HS.

It matters to the Ivies (or very recently changed) and Stanford.

Alright Crush! You have been talking about your goat for years. Time to give details. Where is she going for college? Where is she ranked (if she is a senior) on the top drawer or whatever it’s called.

Agreed. I got my BA and MBA at CSUF and doing well now.
It’s not worth getting so much in debt. 2 years of community college and then 2 years at a big school is always an optio.

And, if I'm not mistaken, isn't 2 years at community college free? (Or maybe that's just in CA, not sure where you're located.)

Looks like it if you are a first-time student and attend full-time. It's also free to HS students who can get dual enrollment credits.
California joins a handful of other states that provide community college tuition-free
California will provide free tuition for two years of community college to first-time, full-time California students.

You should preface that you do not have any first hand knowledge of what will happen for surf for olders. Like you said, this is a place where people come for information, not misinformation. In your case it seems to cause drama purely for entertainment value. I get it, you're bored, nothing else for you to do during this pandemic.

If your kid is a first generation college student or disenfranchised there are also more formal programs also. Cal and UCLA are backups for kids that excel in middle college high school.Looks like it if you are a first-time student and attend full-time.

An old teammate played at CSUF from 93-94 if I have my years correct.
Let's agree to disagree and circle back early next week. Outside of the 400 team number I provided you (which I've clearly placed context around), what's been discussed is information that you could research on your own, all available on the interweb and the google. You just refuse to have a civil conversation and resort to silly personal accusations.
We can put this to bed for now and see how this plays out.
It was way cheaper for me too. I hopped around from JC to JC ((go figure)) in the 80s and then finally got to a school in Pomona. Four classes short of my BS in Kinesiology. I thought it was PE but I got fooled and I was taking classes with Pre Med students. I had one Professor who graded on a curve and I happen to be in the class with all the next Drs. I got an F and never took the class again. I owed $10,000 and paid it all off before I got married. My wife owed $20K because she studied in Germany for a year and I ended up having to pay if off for her when we got married. Today, some of these kids owe a small house payment and no job work at. My son just signed a lease for a frat house at SDSU for next Fall. $900 a month for one room, no food. He asked if I would help him with some food money and I said, "I ate Top Ramen dude and so can you." He was sad but then said he will work part time for his entrainment funds and a new car he wants to save for. I told him I would like to save for a car too but now I have to pay for his food. No one helped me, no one except Mr Pell and Mr Stanford. JC is the way to go. My dd is seriously think of taking classes online at Orange Coast College when she turns 17. Forget AP, just take some online JC courses.
Years???? I did back in 2013-2015. Then I was asked kindly not to come on here let alone post. It was 100% a no or else. One dude told me he was thinking of buying the socal soccer forum. They all lurke here and some even post. I know them all too well. Regarding where my dd is going to go to college, I honestly have no idea. She does want to go and play soccer. The net is all over and she is taking a wait and see approach. Her video is old so were in the process of replacing 2018 stuff with 5 new highlights from ECNL Showcase. She has emailed and has received some really nice feed back. One full ride ((as long as she carries 3.7)) and one who is is 100% interested and so is she. I can't name schools out of respect to my goat. Both of these programs are top schools. One is knocking on the door for NCAA invite and the other one goes almost every year. Lot's of potential at both. She has her hope one or two to just show some interest. I think they will when they see her play with all the other top goats her age.
Rankings? I never signed her up bro for that service. I was poor at the time when we were told what to do. I personally thought it was sort of weak but now I understand why its good for some and I hold no bitterness. I see the top 150 and who from socal is on there. She has great friends in the top 30. MOO, I think she is one of the most competitive females i have ever met. Between her and my wife, she's the real deal. My wife said she's never met anyone like her. A force to reckon with and a great teammate who will put her body on the line for the "W." Will play were ever she is told. Her only ask is to treat her with respect and super important to her, play to win and win means make the playoffs every year or at least go all out for the college cup. I have no idea where that ranks but every coach she has played for always fins a place for her on the field.
