[quote=Anonymous]Having just gone through the athletic recruiting process, I can tell you there are no guarantees – particularly for non-revenue sports. The coach submits his/her list of recruits to Admissions, and while the coach’s recommendations are considered, it’s Admissions that makes the final decision. At select schools like Georgetown, the Ivies, and the NESCAC schools, recruits are typically banded. An A Band recruit meets the academic admissions criteria and is a likely admit. A Bands typically receive little support beyond appearing on the coach’s list. A B Band recruit falls slightly below the academic criteria. B Bands get the most coach support as active lobbying might elevate the recruit to the admitted list. C Bands fall further below the academic criteria and need to be a game-changing athletic superstar to be admitted. A C Band utility infielder won’t make the cut and coaches won’t waste their political capital on someone who’s unlikely to be admitted. Georgetown does not offer Early Decision. For those schools that do, coaches will all but require their recruits to apply ED. Coaches have a limited number of slots and don’t want to advocate for an athlete who might then go elsewhere. The New York Times did an excellent 7-part series on DIII athletic recruiting at select schools that explains the recruiting/admissions process very well. [/quote]
