[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By "good athlete" do you mean he's being recruited?  That makes a difference!

It  also depends on the sport. Football, lacrosse and to a lesser extent, basketball, are the marquis sports at Prep. The Athletic Director, who represents athletes in the recruiting process, is also the head football coach.

Being a multi-sport athlete also helps.

Other sports have less weight and you really have to be a star in one of these to have it make a significant difference. (Soccer, golf, baseball, hockey, track, etc.)

Being “recruited” is not the way it works at Prep or any of the IAC schools. You have to contact the school first. Then the coach of the sport must be interested in having your son. Just how interested makes a difference. So, you have to make sure the coach knows about interest and understands the talent level. Just listing sports played on the application won’t do much.

Of course, the coaches are already aware of your son through CYO sports, or youth football, then your job is simpler.
