[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do NESCAC schools issue likely letters just like the Ivys or is there a difference? I thought recruiting was softer in the NESCAC.[/quote] Softer in that they consider the "whole", there is no formula like in the Ivies (where it's GPA + test score). But it's not exactly easy, and it varies a bit from school to school and sport to sport. My kid was being recruited for football by the NESCACs. For instance, they took into consideration that he was coming from an extremely rigorous New England boarding school rather than a grade inflated rural public. The ivies just take GPA. Trinity is easier to get into (academically) than Amherst but harder to be recruited for football. Hope that makes sense. He ended up at an FCS D1 with pretty rigorous academics, but some of his teammates clearly had a bit more leeway in the admissions process than they would have had at the NESCACs or Ivies[/quote]
