[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went through this with track for D3.  The key language from a coach is that the coach will support the application.  That's the communication that means the coach is using a slot on your child.  In our experience,  support was explicitly tied to ED.  We found coaches to be up front on prospects.  A few coaches said they would support our son's application, but their pull was during ED.  And a few coaches said they very much wanted DS to get admitted and be part of the college track team,  but while they could offer some advice on admissions,  they wouldn't be supporting the application.  And interestingly, one coach said DS was unlikely to get in ED1 because of lower grades in one subject area,  but if the grade improved for first semester of senior year,  the coach would support ED2. DS decided to ED1 at a school where the coach supported the application,  he got in,  and is super happy now with the college and the team.

Good luck![/quote]

Similar experience for D3 track. Once DC said he wasn’t going to ED at a couple of schools who had done the pre-read and were very excited about him the coaches lost interest. I think in the end it was a disadvantage in RD because DC had already signaled it wasn’t his first choice.

Usually the first question the coaches asked was if DC needed money. He was full pay so that was a plus (in addition to being fast).

Ultimately DC decided he wanted a D1 school and got in without sports. [/quote]
