[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD has her heart set on one school where she is being recruited for athletics. It's a D3 that does offer up to 20K in merit money, which is why we first reached out to the school. They have said that they will conduct a pre-read this summer and let us know of any merit offers.  Academically, the school is a target for her. I guess my question is, if they give her a likely with the pre-read, and we are happy with the merit award, how confident can we be that the she will be accepted ED? [/quote]

That's a question you can ask them.  There is some variation between schools, but at many D3 schools, if a candidate passes the preread and gets a slot from the coach it's pretty much a sure thing unless something major happens.

But coaches will submit more athletes for prereads than they offer slots too.  Basically, the coach might send the info on their top 10 athletes to admissions.  Admissions comes back with 6 "definitely yes", 2 "if she's your top choice" and 2 "no".

Coach then needs to pick 4.  Maybe your daughter is in their top 4 choices and she's in, or they pick 4, not including your daughter, and then 2 of those also get other offers and decline, and then she gets an offer a little later.  [/quote]

If you are recruited at a school that uses this system, you should definitely get confirmation from the coach as to support.  Since you might not know whether the school uses that system, the question is worth asking.  [/quote]
