@midwestmomofboys,

As usual, I totally agree with your comments. I would go one step further and ask the coach “will you send my grades and scores to admissions for a pre-read.” You could even ask “does your admissions office do pre-reads.” Then, in 3 weeks time, follow up with the question “have you heard from admissions about the pre-read?”

I am only leaving out on the table the possibility (that I heard from one athlete in one sport) that Haverford doesn’t do pre-reads. That could explain the disappointment of a recruit who learned – after specifically asking the coach – that he or she was high on the coach’s list and had acceptable stats for admission. If I didn’t know about pre-reads, I too would assume based on that information that the chances for admission were very good.
