[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC rising junior athlete with strong interest in several nescacs, and will def be recruitable with sports, and hopefully grades / scores.   How does Haverford compare - social and academic? in terms of tiering, would it fit in below middlebury but above wes/tufts? do they recruit (non helmet sport) like the nescacs? any lift (slot or tip?$[/quote]

To get back to the original question - I do know two baseball players who were "recruited" by Haverford.  They were in the same high school class year and played on the same travel team - my DS played on the same travel team with them.  Player #1 was told by the coach he had one of his guaranteed slots. Player #2 was told by the coach that IF he was admitted on his own accord, he had a spot on the team.  Typically, most coaches want 7 or 8 guys per year, but the Haverford coach told Player #2 that he only got a couple of slots and the rest of his players had to get through admissions on their own merit.  Both players were admitted and are on the team.  Both are starters and get significant playing time.[/quote]

Comports with what my baseball player kid was told (would have gotten one of the guaranteed slots).

This may not matter at all to most, but the league is a little quirky…you play Swarthmore, Ursinus, Gettysburg, Washington College (MD)…no real rivalries other than Swarthmore and kind of random.[/quote]
