N[b]o offense but those stats would only get into the very bottom NESCACs, if that[/quote]

I don't think those stats would get into any NESCAC school, including the bottom-ranked ones.[/quote]

You don't know what you are talking about. The bolded stat is the important one. It all depends what sport and how good he is. [/quote]

I know exactly what I'm talking about because my DC was a recruited athlete at a top NESCAC and those stats at best might get you into Trinity.[/quote]

Not true - it all depends on the perceived value of that particular sport and that particular university - some are valued more than others. It also depends on the athlete's fit and how much the team sees them as a potential key player if it's a team sport.[/quote]

Why is everyone afraid of stating or asking the obvious? URM.[/quote]

[b]It is not obvious!  Why don’t you get facts before you spout off.  Mostly all NeScac athletes are white.  Look it up.  [/quote][/b]

It's called football, honey.  Read and learn:

The NESCAC football coaches get 14 "slots" . How many tips they get depend on a number of things (legacy/URM status are the big ones) and thus the successful tips could and probably do vary from school to school. So for example, if you have an alumni kid with GPA/standardized test scores in a reasonable range but not outstanding, that kid gets a tip from the coaches combined with the legacy status that pushes him over the hurdle in many (most?) cases. What coaches tell the "tips" about roster slots I do not know, my son had a slot. [/quote]
