I bet she also has a perfect IMX score! |

When my swimmer did the pre-read they gave us the merit amount. Can you ask for that with the pre-read? From others I've talked with, that seems fairly standard. |

| It is standard for them to tell you your DC's merit amount during your pre-read. Some of these schools have deep and generous pockets. If you donāt like their offer, you can always ask for more. Why be shy? All they can say is no. They will not cut your kid for asking. |

| Anyone out there have any advice regarding an effective approach to NESCAC schools? Is there any wiggle room on grades, test scores, etc? Thanks. |

It depends on how much they want your kid. NESCAC schools put athletes into ābandsā depending on their stats. A Band means the kid has the stats to get in on their own. B Band kids have stats below what the school would normally require but can get in with what is called a ātipā by the coach. And C Band kids need a āslotā from the coach. What grades/scores are in each band depends on the school. Williamsā B Band stats are higher than Hamiltonās, which are higher than Connās. The admissions office gives coaches a set number of slots and tips. It may be 1 slot and 4 tips; depends on the school and sport. So if your kid is the No. 1 person on the schoolās list, there will be more leeway than if the kid is No. 5. |

| How about Wash U, Chi, Emory? Thanks. |

Same as the above. If your DC fits the swim times and has close to the āgradesā look at the fastest teams and start there. Coaches at these programs have pull and flexibility. The pull diminishes the less successful a program is on the D3 national level. Good luck. |

Iām not as familiar with recruiting at these schools. I am guessing itās similar. |

| Are D3 schools speeding up their timelines given the effects of House? |

Yes- it is similar, Wash U is a little easier if you have a very top swimmer. UC wants you to ED and Swimming is tough at Emory. They are always near the top of NCAA and faster than many D1 schools. |

It does not appear so. If you are not reaching out as a Jr by this time of the year, however, you will get lost in the shuffle. To much talent and not enough places to go. |

| If you walk on, take it you have to get in on your own? |

All three schools require you to apply Ed if youāre getting coaches support. You still need to take rigorous coursework and have a high gpa for all three. Overall, Chicago has a more demanding training cycle and the coaches are very intense. They have voluntary practice hours but swimmers are guilted into staying for those hours. Theyāll do a 2.5 hour practice but the last 30 minutes is voluntary but who is leaving the pool 30 minutes early? Emory and WashU are similar in their training. |
