[quote=Anonymous]At least at Williams (and I think this generally true at most NESCAC schools), each coach gets a small number of "tips" each year, which can be used to get kids in with otherwise below average (though likely still very strong) academic credentials. The total number of "tips" in each admissions class has been going down. I think it may be below 70 at this point, so some teams will only get 1 or 2. Coaches can also use "protect" slots, in which kids who are academically above average for the applications process "get in" because their coach asks for it, and it doesn't negatively impact the academic profile of the class. Here is a more detailed discussion of the process: [url]http://ephblog.com/2019/10/21/guide-to-athletic-admissions-2/[/url][/quote]
