Boarding school recruiting

My son applied to boarding school and contacted all of the coaches. He submitted videos with his applications in the fall. He was able to meet with most of the coaches during his interviews (this was pre-covid, so in-person).

During the visit at Andover, we asked the coach if he reviewed the video. He was honest and said no. The interview was in December. On March 10, he received an acceptance from Andover, and on the admissions letter was a handwritten note. The note basically said that the coach really liked him and wanted him to attend.

So this is a long winded way of saying that the coaches are stretched for time. They probably don’t review the videos until right before the deliberations start (probably mid to late February). So you still have time.
