[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is one of the 25 at Wes. That number was told to me by the coach who attended a meeting by Wes admin the day before admin released ED1.  The coaches were shocked.  This whole mess was an admin issue, apparently.

My kid was deferred to RD. He passed pre read easily. Wes coach knew he had two other “offers” from D3 schools.  Kid ED1 to Wes over those two schools.

My kid academically on par. All AP and over 4 GPA.

He was told expressly (and in an email and text, which I found surprising given what I’ve read that D3 coaches are more circumspect given uncertainty) he had full support and was top recruit and he had “one of [coaches] three spots” before kid ED1’d.

Now, deferral email said that because kid mid semester grades dropped, that is why deferred. He did get two Bs when he is generally all A’s.  I hope that is the real reason.  But still, it seems very messy.  Kids other two schools have moved on and regrettably had not more spots.  Happy if he walked on.

Kid is not a minority, and we don’t qualify for financial aid. I’ve spoke with another parent of the 25 and they are in same spot. Not minority and full pay. And deferred to RD.

I know it is easy for people to anonymously post crude sentiments here. I get it. I’m just looking for some others here to handicap our situation with Wes. I’m hoping it works out and my kid is still hopeful. Coach has been in communication and is still pushing kid hard at admin.

Kid has applied RD to other schools and will be able to walk on there. But still, holding hope for Wes. Maybe being deferred to RD really was a better outcome than ED1 deferral?  Thoughts?[/quote]
I’m sorry, PP. This sounds really frustrating. We had a much easier time with D1 recruiting, as did all our friends with recruited athletes. I guess the D1 coaches have more pull.

I read on CC that the parent whose DD was deferred to ED2 was ultimately accepted at Grinnell in an early decision round. Hope your son ends up in a great place too. [/quote]
