RULE #3: DON'T PLAY THE "FAME GAME".Pick a college because it fits, not because of its name.
You may be a little more gifted as an athlete so you decided not to take academics seriously. That´s a big mistake. Here's a reality for you. Over 500,000 student athletes every year do NOT qualify academically for NCAA and NAIA colleges. They lose college playing opportunities and scholarships simply because they did not apply themselves in school or study harder.
FACT 1: Any college given the choice of two equal athletes, one with a 3.5 GPA and the other with a 2.8 GPA is going to take the better student. There are a lot of athletes “equal to” you out there. Don't believe it? Just think about all the national and regional tournaments, and showcases you go to.
FACT 2: Did you know that you should be taking both the ACT and SAT exams? 75% of colleges take both the ACT and SAT. These standardized tests will play a huge role in your college recruiting process. In college they are called “Student Athletes” not “Athletic Students”.
