As general context, NCAA Division III schools do not award athletic scholarships. Aid at D3 schools comes through academic merit and need based packages, and D3 coaches often recruit later in the cycle than D1 programs. DeSales University sits in the middle of its division by Massey rank, which is where well prepared club players who reach out early tend to find real conversations.
DeSales University is a private small school on a suburban campus with about 2,128 undergraduates. On a campus this size the women's soccer staff usually knows the admissions office well, so academic fit comes up early in the conversation. The acceptance rate is 77 percent, and the middle SAT range is 1090 to 1260, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
