[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Does this school provide "likely letters"?  If so, your daughter should push for one.  If she receives an admissions likely letter then it's basically 100%.[/quote]

Very few schools D3 schools offer likely letters but they are generally true to their word.

If you are looking for merit aid ask for a financial aid pre-read as well as the academic pre-read.

You need to get an offer from the coach. If you have the offer and pass the pre-read you will get in barring any big changes. The academic pre-read will determine merit if any.[/quote]

Most of the UAA conference issue likely letters...Emory, Wash U, Case Western, et al.  I don't know Chicago's policy.[/quote]

I don't know about Emory but WashU and CWRU no longer issue likely letters for athletics. My kid had offers from two of the schools listed (along with be at above 75th at all of them) and the AOs specifically said that they no longer issue LLs. Chicago might but I'm not sure about that one either.[/quote]
