[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]D1 P4 Olympic sport recruit[/b] - My kid (junior) got an offer and made her verbal commitment only after she submitted her transcript and SAT scores to the admissions office and the coach got academic approval to recruit her.  The minimum SAT score for recruiting was 1400.

She still has to apply ED in the fall of her senior year and get accepted through normal channels; there is a preference for recruited athletes, but not as much as you might think.  This process apparently varies from school to school.  We understand that Northwestern, for example, has a separate, earlier application process for recruited athletes.

I think kids are posting their verbal commitments on social media, which strikes me as a little precarious. In my daughter's sport, no one does this, and everyone is very cagey about where they have committed until acceptances are in hand senior year.[/quote]

Everyone needs to understand that football and basketball have their own set of rules as by far the top revenue sports, so one can't compare the process for a Duke basketball player or Vanderbilt football player vs. all the other sports.[/quote]
