D has 4 official visit offers with 2 more likely based on coaches comments, so 6 likely OVs. She’d be VERY happy rowing for 3 of these schools - 1 offered and the 2 likely. She would consider the other 3 if they offered a full scholarship or if the top 3 fell through. Those 3 have asked for an answer ASAP.

But, there are another 4 programs she would like to visit if OVs are offered, but the coaches have been vague or asked her for a slightly better 2k time. One of those programs hasn’t replied to any emails yet, but other rowers have said they recruit late and mostly in senior year.

How much confidence should she have in the 2 coaches who have said OVs are likely but haven’t offered yet? How many spots should she leave open for schools that would offer OVs in July or August? Not sure if the best OV offer come early, or come later in the process… Thanks!
