My daughter has applied ED to a quality East Coast D3 school (the 50th percentile score for this school is 2050-2300). Her hook is that she is an athlete. Her SAT is 1930 and GPA 4.0. Prior to applying ED the Coach has told us that based on her SAT score and transcripts the Director of Admissions has said that she will be admitted.

I never believe anything until it is in writing. What are the odds of getting negatively surprised here? ie they don’t like her essay or application?

How unusual is this?

Any feedback appreciated.
