<p>“At what point in the admissions process does a good athlete need to contact the coaches at NESCAC schools?”</p>
<p>It’s necessary to contact them NOW (spring of Junior year). It could also depend on the sport as well - if it’s a smaller team…definitely now. If the team is larger such as football or soccer, then maybe there isn’t a need to get in contact ASAP. It wouldn’t hurt to just shoot an email though. Maybe search on Google for a sample letter or PM me and I can send you the template that I have. Lastly, your daughter shouldn’t worry about finding a top school yet. Just send a letter to each of the schools that she’s considering on applying to.</p>
