<p>hi. i'm from Nigeria. i have two sat scores 1920 700-m 650-cr 570-essay and 1860 720-m 640-cr 500-essay. i want to go to a school where i can play division one basketball. but i need a full or at least an almost 100% scholarship. can you guys give me ideas??</p>
<p>Start contacting division one basketball coaches with your stats, video of you playing, etc. Competition is fierce.</p>
<p>i want to get in with an academic scholarship</p>
<p>So what is more important? Getting in on a scholarship or getting to play division one basketball? If it’s basketball, then the first step is to contact coaches - if a school wants you, it will (likely) offer an athletic scholarship. If it’s academic scholarship then then the process is very different.</p>
<p>getting in on a scholarship is more important. the thing is im 22 years old and that makes me ineligible for an athletic scholarship. i really want to play division one basketball though. so im trying to get into a school that plays basketball at the division one level with an academic scholarship and then tryout with the school team</p>
<p>sorry my reply is coming so late i do hope you reply</p>
<p>Your scores might not be competitive enough for an academic scholarship, but you should research schools that have division 1 programs.</p>
<p>It sounds like you want an academic scholarship for a school where you can play Div. 1 basketball. Unless you’re a recruited athlete, that means that you want to be a “walk on”: someone who tries out for the team when he gets to the campus. That’s very hard to do. And many “walk ons” never actually get to play. They’re “bench warmers” - players who wear the uniform, but during games sit on the sides. </p>
<p>Still, if you’re very serious:
Here’a a list of all Div. 1 Basketball schools. </p>
<p>[List</a> of NCAA Division I institutions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_Division_I_institutions]List”>List of NCAA Division I institutions - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>Eliminate all public universities because public schools don’t give academic scholarships to inernational students. Eliminate the Ivies, because your grades aren’t high enough. Start looking at whatever schools are left on this list to see their requirements for international students. Your best bets will be schools in the southern, central, and northern part of the US, because fewer international students tend to apply there, so the competition is a bit less intense. </p>
<p>Start applying… and, good luck.</p>
