ED1 and ED2 for Recruits

I think it is critical to ask the coach at any school what it means. S is a rising Junior, so we haven’t gotten that detailed with most coaches, but one conversation went there and the coach said the standard admissions has the final say speech, but when pressed, he said that he is 100% in the last 5 years on getting his guys in and he won’t ask S to apply ED unless he is confident that he will get in. He wants to preserve his credibility with future recruits. That’s one coach at one school in one sport. But I think if you ask directly how many guys (or girls) they have asked to apply ED were denied, they will be honest. They may not offer up the info, but most will give an accurate answer if asked, whatever it may be.

When we started doing unofficial visits, I was pleasantly surprised at the level of info coaches will give if asked direct questions. I let S do most of the talking, but on things where he was less comfortable I asked a few questions.
