[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are curious about the private high school recruiting process for student athletes and how we can get our DC exposure to either a football or baseball program? How do student athletes get identified and is there a higher percentage of acceptance if they are being recruited for sports?[/quote]

If you are recruited to a WCAC school
It’s 100% acceptance unless you score something crazy low in the HPST…like in the 40s.

We reached out to the baseball coach at SJC and he watched a tournament where my son was playing and my son also did the Summer camp for middle schoolers at SJC.[/quote]

May I ask what your son’s financial package was?[/quote]

Zero…there are no athletic scholarships and we are very much full pay.

That’s correct they don’t offer athletic scholarships but they absolutely find a way to get kids money depending on how bad they want you whether you need it or not. We know a few kids in the WCAC that don’t qualify for need based aid but because they want a kid, they offer financial assistance. [/quote]
If financial assistance (i.e. a scholarship) is awarded due to sports performance and isn't need based, that's called an athletic scholarship.[/quote]

No. It’s called Financial Aid.

A concept few on here understand. The school can give whatever FA they want for whatever reason.

Financial need is just one thing they look at. This isn’t some government program where they look at a table for the amount applicants get.

It’s their money. There are NO rules that require them to distribute the funds in any way.

If you don’t know what FA is and how it is administered, it’ll remain a mystery to you.

It’s not a poverty program, it’s an enrollment management tool. If they could get a class with all the attributes they want without offering FA, they would.[/quote]
