[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it has been mentioned that if your son is an athlete they have a better chance of getting in. Gprep isnt part of the WCAC so i dont know how competitive they are sports wise.

Is your application flagged as athlete by the coaches or just in general. I am trying to figure out how do they know who is a novice versus someone who truly has athletic talent. [/quote]

It will have to be the coaches and the AD who will have to plead the athletes case in the Admissions process. They will go to Admissions with a prioritized list. The AD is also the football coach.

The world of middle school sports is pretty visible to those who care about such things.

The coaches know who the good athletes are based on input from alumni, word-of mouth, reports from middle school coaches and administrators. Reports from CYO coaches and observers. Reports from youth football coaches and observers (eg Maplewood Football). The Prep coaches might even watch potential applicants play in the CYO basketball tournament or games held at Prep.

If a kid is outside this highly visible loop, an interested parent might bring the boy to Prep to meet the coach along with his resume.

The coach or AD isn’t going to get everybody on their list of priorities in. This effort will be limited to the boys that the AD either knows or has it on very good authority is or will be a superior athlete. [/quote]
