<p>I have been told by a coach that my ed app will be “coded” for athletics. I know this leaves me with some sort of extra consideration, but I dont know much else. I am a little below or just at Penn averages numbers-wise, but I don’t think I am one of the top coded apps for my sport. Does coding have the same effect no matter where you are on the list? and are they looked at separately? I also have employee relation in addition to athletics. If anyone has any thoughts on effect this will have on my app, don’t hesitate!
Thanks so much</p>
<p>one kid was ranked 60/590 got in Penn from my school , he took mostly regular classes but he wa captian of two varsity sport , asian , SAT 1400 ish ,Penn accepts about 50 kids from my school</p>
<p>SuperAzn, can you please stop talking about how so many people from your school get accepted. You’re not even answering the question for this thread.</p>
<p>hahahaha true dat. but i like your name, superazn. my friends call me supa-asian.</p>
<p>my app is getting coded too. i know for the crew team only the top 3 recruits for the coxswain spot get coded. i dont know if its the same for other sports though. in addition to coding the coach can do other things. they can assure that you dont get outright rejected early decision so that they can try to get you in during RD. or they can write an extra reccommendation to the adcoms about what a great kid you are and how great you will be for the team, etc. or they can track your application all the way through the process and will probably be able to tell you whether you are in or not before the 10th. or they can give you outright full support which basically guarantees admission. each team has a limited number of people they can support though, for the crew team it is 11. so thats what i know. if you have other questions about recruiting its the one thing that i know somehting about haha.</p>
<p>thanks bartoastt, that definitley helps alot! Do you know if coding is the same as full support, less, not at all? thanks!!</p>
<p>hey bartoastt is there a difference between being on the coach’s list and the coach giving you full support?</p>
<p>Are any of you athletes going for track/cross country? My understanding is that the coaches rank their recruits and many not waste a top slot on someone who is likely to be admitted anyway. Karen</p>
<p>—bump—</p>
<p>i dont know about this “coaches list” thing cuz the crew coach never mentioned that, but i have a feeling its probalby not full support. but i know that coding is less than full support. support is basically guaranteed admission. but they have a limited number of spots to give.</p>
<p>but coded still means being recruited, no?</p>
