[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw a cople of college announcements coming in already at my kids HS. So far they are only athletic recruits. Does that mean they got their positive decision before writing any essays or filling out a common app? I thought recruited athletes still had to fill out an app and apply ED even with a verbal that the coach was going to support their app.[/quote]

Many non-Ivy D1 athletes are told to apply early August and then told by end of August that it's all official.  The coaches want their commits to not have an opportunity to reconsider.

If a kid is strong enough that they are still weighing offers (or possibly de-committing from one school to switch to another), then yes they are officially told within weeks that they are accepted whenever they apply.

I believe Ivy league still makes you wait until the official announcement like all others...though you are told verbally by the coach that in fact you are accepted so there is no surprise in mid-December.[/quote]

Thank you. One of the announcements I saw was for an ivy (Princeton), the other was for a D3 school.[/quote]
