Let's play, Sandy Says...............
Sandy Says: I agree with you completely. However, the GPA better be above average to have a lower score on the SAT/ACT. If they have both high GPA and SAT scores, you can pretty much get into a great school with some academic scholarship $$ especially if you are a top soccer player and maybe even get a little athletic scholarship as well.
((Thanks for the information Sandy))
Sandy Says: If they don’t have either, they can still play soccer but most likely not at a high academic or even top D1 school. Even some GOATs didn’t meet the requirements for UCLA, Stanford, Duke, or Virginia and had to go to another school.
((Yes, I figured that out back in July from @MakeAPlay or the great Maps))
Sandy also Says: So, if anyone (not you Outside!) thinks soccer alone can get their dd into their dream school without the grades, then they will be in for a rude awakening.
((100% correct. That's why I sat my goat down and shared with her what the truth is and what Map had to say back in July. The only human in soccer to tell me the truth. My dd has a 4.0 today except for that stupid math subject))
Sandy Says: Verbal promises might be made, but there are ways schools get out of verbal commits. Parents expecting colleges to make significant exceptions (no SATs, low GPAs, etc), especially now; for their special dd are delusional and in complete denial.
((True dat brah. I smoked that out quickly when her coach was telling her to email and "sign" early to lock in the deal. All for 8th grader. 80% quit or don;t finish))
Sandy Says: There will only be more ranting, blaming, and screaming foul play by certain parents claiming their dd has been wronged, again.
((Not from this dad))
Sandy Says This too: If no SATs, then your dd better have an outstanding GPA.
((Ore she can skip all this BS and scam for most and got straight to the Pros))
f not, (Sandy Says) you can kiss big time D1 and D3/schools goodbye.
((That is true))
Sandy Says: Maybe D2, vocational school, or community college and there’s nothing wrong with that either.
((Nothing at all wrong with that. My buddy played JC ball at OCC and was the #1 pick in Da June Draft by the Cubs))
Sandy Says: Don’t say you weren’t warned and go bitchin’ to everyone when your kid doesn’t go to college to get an education and becomes a rec player while working two jobs, barefoot and pregnant.
((Those same asshole like you told me the same thing when I was 18. Horrible advice. Another person saying if you don;t get in debt for college you will actually have to work. Oh Sansdy, please......))
More from Sandy: Nothing wrong with that though...if that’s your dds choice.
((My dd will never have to work like that you fool))
Sandy..........: Anyway, I think most of us want more for our dd’s than that, but it is their dd’s choice as to whether or not they want to work for it or not. And don’t forget most, not all, WNT players went to college.
((You sir our the problem with soccer in the USA))
Sandy Says: Of course there are also the 0.0000001% who get a Nike deal and don’t go to college, but that is the rarest of players.
((Only the true pro OM))
Sandy: If you are planning on this road for your dd, you better step up your game and stop complaining or asking for special accommodations/treatment if your dd doesn’t want to work for it.
((Thank God I have plenty of resources to help my goat in case it all falls a part and she has to find work and work two jobs and go to JC at night so she can be successful. What an asshole!!! College like you NO it is over for good. You can go visit Mr Singer in jail and find out how the hell he got people like you to spend $500,000 just to get into the school. Cheats with money I can;t stand!!!))
Sandy concludes: Just some of my thoughts on the 2021 dilemma.
((Thanks for the toughts and now you have mind from my mine. There're you go. Go ahead and have Lester grade my paper and fail fro my grammar and wrong use of words that sound the same but our spelled wrong)) Next!!!
