[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious to hear how ‘off’ academically/score wise from a school’s regular admission class a recruited athlete can be. A little? A lot? I assume it depends in part on the athletes overall rank.

Fwiw my dc is into his sport but doesn’t care about using it as a ‘hook’ to get into a ‘reach’ school (assuming he could, of course) so I’m asking for my own education, not because he’ll be trying to take anyone’s spot at HYP 😝[/quote]

Depends on the school but my DC had offers from a top 15 D1 school, as well as highly selective LACs at D3 level, and they made no accommodations for what it took to be admitted. The D1 had only 1 "coach choice" slot and they were going to use it for my kid but you still had to be close to their numbers (mine was but everyone who applies there is). Ultimately, they chose not to go D1. But my experience -and DC went on many visits and had lots of offers- was that you had to have the academics for the top schools.

We have friends who went to hopkins and Penn, among others, and they needed top GPA and over 1500 SAT to even talk to the coaches.[/quote]

I don’t think of either of those schools are serious sports schools. [/quote]

Hopkins most def does (FH, lax). Penn not at much but, for our sport, they have a VERY tough schedule. [/quote]
