<p>runnergrl - It looks as if my post #4 has had unintended consequences. I was about to write "MomofWildChild has it right" when I looked at your handle and inferred that you might be a recruited athlete asking if a prospective coach were correct in assuring you that you'd do OK academically at the school, which you described as a "reach." As the knowledgeable parents have noted above, if you are not a recruited athlete you will be well qualified academically to succeed at any school which accepts you. And in most cases where you are a recruited athlete you will be OK academically also.</p>
