Still waiting. The coach submitted whatever there is to submit for us - we didn’t do anything. Coach is “not worried at all” because to even make a verbal offer (which they did in the spring; S24 accepted) his transcripts and test scores were already submitted for a pre -pre read. For the official pre-read, hey did need to send his second semester grades, which were in line with his previous grades, and they wanted his senior year schedule, and additional test scores. Our ivy is not test optional for athletes (but they are officially test optional for everyone else).

Sounds like you are in a good position since the coach is not worried and made you a verbal offer! This sounds like they may be getting things in order as you approach the final step to ask you to officially commit/apply and receive a Likely Letter.
For what it is worth, it was not soccer but when our kid committed to an Ivy it was not until early Oct. after all official visits completed. We had narrowed it down by then but were still deciding between a couple of Ivy’s + a top non-Ivy.
