I think they were referring to the applicant pool.
I was thrown a bit with the average course rigor part. Is everybody taking AP Bio in 10th grade? Wouldn’t think so.
Why do you think you have a 40% shot at D1? Have you been talking to coaches already?
The reclass thing comes up a lot it seems. I’m not in your parent’s pocket, but if you can do it, I’m wondering where you’d look? Another HADES with presumably as good or better sports?
The re-class route wouldn’t eliminate your C, but it would dilute its impact, amp up your relative course rigor and extend your recruiting window. The thing is, you’d have to crush your new school out of the blocks, and that’s hard if you’re thinking comparable schools.
Might be easier putting you head down and crushing it at the school that knows you and you know going forward. There’s still time to rally.
