<p>Wow, your son/daughter sounds amazing.Truly exceptional. However, I just want to throw it out there that it’s very difficult to pursue a degree in a very time-consuming, dense major like Engineering or Medicine. Especially in an extremely competitive universities. I have some friends who tried that and found the arrangement wasn’t working for them.
Since he/she has an amazing GPA and SAT score already, it might be wiser to apply for a top college without promising to join an athletic team. However, this is truly up to your child and of course, it’s definitely possible that he/she will be very successful balancing both.</p>
<p>As for the athletic scholarships, I think the rest of the posters in this thread covered that.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
