Haverford / Nescacs

My DS was contacted by the Haverford coach for track. They must have a couple slots at least if they are that good a team. Reach out to the coach.

By the way, to be clear, you do not necessarily have to score a 1500 to get recruited to play a sport at Williams. It depends on the situation.

Don't go if you value independent thought. Great place for super woke sheep. Makes Oberlin look conservative. Not kidding; not exaggerating. Lots of highly publicized wokeness at Haverford.

Uh, it’s a Quaker school. Maga/Trumpsters would find Quakers woke.

to be clear, I said that the Williams coach told my kid that HE needed a 1500 to get a slot - I didn’t say that the coach said ALL recruits need a 1500. Big big difference - and I believe it was clear

Did the coach use the word "slot"? Because "slot" in NESCAC recruiting speak is typically the term for support for a high-priority athlete who has academic credentials that are relatively low, such that the athlete needs strong coach support in order to get in. A student with strong academic stats would only need a "tip" from the coach to get in. Each coach has a certain number of slots and a certain number of tips.

been through this rodeo couple times so I’ll explain my approach and the conversation - I said to coach if DC goes ED will you fully support their application ? coach said yes if DC scores 1500. I said ok understood, but how many athletes who have that level of your support have been admitted during your tenure? He said -100% - so he never used the word slot, I guess that’s what i called it
