[quote=Anonymous]For what it is worth, my son's experience was that the academic requirements for athletes to be admitted to a NESCAC were rigorous. He is class of 2026 and was interested in two NESCAC schools, and at both schools the coach told him he was at the top of the recruiting class athletically, but at both schools he failed the admissions pre-read, and they stopped recruiting him. He had 1400 SATs on his first take, mostly A's from a good public school, but few AP classes, which both admissions offices said was his downfall. He ended up committing to play his sport at a D1 program at a school based in the south, larger than NESCACs, with less demanding academics, and more conservative social culture, which is an all round better fit for him. So our family is happy with the end result. But my takeaway that that in order to play a sport at a NESCAC, you have to be very close to a NESCAC level student to get in the door.[/quote]
