They will be getting the common app essay with the application.[/quote]

Which doesn't get submitted for months.  The preread process asks an athlete to commit earlier, in return for an assurance of admittance.  [/quote]

There is zero commitment with a pre read.[/quote]

The preread process leads to them asking the athlete to apply ED, that's asking them to commit.  [/quote]
So PP’d post stands. There is zero commitment with a preread . [/quote]

The point of the preread process is to allow a coach to decide whether they can commit their support early to the athlete.  In order to make that decision the coach needs admissions to tell them if they will admit the athlete.  In this case, the admissions office feels that they can’t make that decision without a writing sample, and since the Common App essay will come too late they are asking for one.

Neither a coach nor the athlete is making a commitment by asking for a preread, but the purpose of the preread is to help the coach, and athlete decide whether or not to commit.  [/quote]
