Turning down a full scholarship to be a recruited walk on... crazy?

Is her sport that important to her?
That’s another university where she’s unlikely to receive instruction at her level (although it’s better than Dsu).
It seems sports are more important than academics in terms of criteria - if so, congratulations! If not, perhaps look a bit longer for a better fit?

I just looked at the information on the Tiffin website and it seems like there has been quite a significant drop in applicants and rise in admits in the past few years, to the point where for the last reported class 2668 students applied and 2485 were admitted. Here is the link:

What has caused such a dramatic drop in applicants for Tiffin? As a parent, I would also be concerned about the 62% retention rate.

@toomanyteens How does your D like Tiffin? Thanks!

@Portercat - she isn’t there yet! She is a HS senior, LAX recruitment happens EARLY
