[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To add onto that- for competitive d3 when does your kid take the SAT? End of junior year so it is part of the pre read?[/quote]

PP- Yes they should be done by June of Junior year with standardized tests.  Remember Recruited athletes at top 3 academic schools need good scores (Over 1400), not perfect scores.  My swimmer had lower scores that my non athlete and was fine with college admissions pre reads.  I found with swimming, that it was more important for the athlete to be fast and have the swimming cuts than to have perfect test scores if your kid is looking at that type of school.  The fastest D3 swim schools (Emory, NYU, Williams, Wash U, Chicago, Carnegie, Amherst) are great academically, and they use their recruited spots for athletes that are very fast and good students.[/quote]

Totally agree with PP above based on my 2 DC who both were D3 recruits in swimming. Would add, test scores do need to be in the range and especially for schools mentioned so do grades. Low test/low grades fast swimmer aren't going to be a match for these places. Know kids from DMV that have been at or are at NYU, Williams, Chicago, Carnegie and Amherst and all were good students and fast.[/quote]
