[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is talking to some high academic D3s. Their teams could beat many of the D1s, and most of the athletes they’re recruiting also have D1 interest. My impression is that the coach wanting you can help you get through test optional. However, the coaches have been very specific about the number and type of APs she would need. She would also need nearly perfect grades.[/quote]

I don't want to sound like a jerk,  but if you're being told by a coach that your kids needs near perfect grades, then either your kids is a very low priority for the coach,  or the college truly doesn't support the sport.
My kid is at a D3 top academic college and got in with the coach's support during ED, despite significantly below average  (for this college) stats.[/quote]

This is what I’ve seen in experiences however small my experiences are.  I know a student who was way below Boston College’s usual stats but he was probably on his way to professional so they took him.  He did go pro.  Also I have a family member who went to Princeton as a nationally ranked Lacrosse player who was a B student.  It’s weird they recruit Lacrosse players.  that sport failed so badly in the professional league.   Future football and basketball professionals will get passes over a failed class or some Cs.  They have proven that they excel at a specific sport and will add more value to the school than just another AP stem student.[/quote]
