<p>First of all i am a junior in highschool (female) and I play basketball. At the rate I am going i might be able to play ncaa D2/D3 or naia. I have lettered on varsity 3 out of 4 years</p>
<p>The problems are:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>if i dont play sports i will major in biomedical engineering (if i do i will chose the regular premed route but i prefer biomedical engineering with hopes of going to medical school. (if i got the opportunity to play basketball at my 1st choice school i dont know if its possible to do biomedical engineering and play basketball..but im not scared to give it a try ... )</p></li>
<li><p>My first choice school (and many of the schools on my list) are division 1.</p></li>
<li><p>i dont wanna go to a school just because they offer me a basketball scholarship (like some random school in the middle of nowhere)... i have pretty good academics to get some scholarship money at an hbcu (act 26 <-- working on that and gpa 3.97 unweighted 4.5 weighted and will have at least 7 ap/ib courses when i graduate</p></li>
</ol>
<p>im the type of basketball player that developed (and am still developing) in highschool i havent been recruited yet ... i work out with lynette woodard (the woman who holds the scoring title for womens college basketball and has recruited before) and she believes i can get a scholarship to play but didnt say what division.. so basically im just hoping because im not all state or all district i wont score over 1000 points (on varsity) in my career and i havent been recruited, my aau team isnt the best and doesnt have all the resources my highschool team isn't a state contender or anything special besides district champs and i really havent had my greatest shine on varsity but i still have one more year left.. but i wanna play basketball in college because i love it so much but i feel like im just running out of time but i put in so much work daily and ican do alot of things my teammates arent capable of but i still sit on the bench ( i guess thats just how sports are)... i feel like i just started playing to late (when i was 14) ... so basically i just want to know what you would do or focus on in this situatuion and should i ... i dont wanna say give up on this dream but i guess thats what i really mean..??</p>
<p>oh and the top 2 on my college list</p>
<ol>
<li>North Carolina A&T (Division 1ncaa and an HBCU)</li>
<li>Xavier in louisiana (Naia and an hbcu)</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks</p>
