[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DD plays at one of the top NESCAC schools. She was a good student at HS but only probably top 20%. She was a borderline D1/top D3 player and did not attract the recruiting interest at the sort of academic schools she wanted to go to, so turned down ‘random’ D1 schools and focused on the NESCAC - she was offered at 3 schools and was told she was a top recruit by all of them. She passed pre-read for all and is now studying and loving her time there. Most NESCAC coaches have one or two ‘supports’ where if your DD meets the minimum requirements they will get supported and most likely in. [quote]It all depends on how much they want your DD.[/quote][/quote]

This is not true for NESCACs if you are not within the academic index requirements. My DD was told by multiple coaches she was their number one recruit. Williams and Middlebury both then had to walk away because the admissions office said it was never going to work out, her grades just weren't there. Hamilton coach loved her and, because she was the top recruit, was able to get her to pass the pre-read. In the end, she took an offer that came from an Ivy at the beginning of her senior year. Then she quit after one college season.[/quote]

After quitting she was able to stay at the Ivy though correct?[/quote]
