ED1 and ED2 for Recruits

My understanding is that Haverford doesn’t do pre-reads, but that is only based on one athlete in one sport. It would be interesting if others know of actual positive admission pre-reads that were not honored (meaning the academic stats being sent to admissions, not just a coach thinking the athlete has the stats). As an honor code school, it would be rough for admissions to give a green light and then go back on it.

Of course, you should use ED1 for the preferred school. I wouldn’t assume that coach support is less effective for ED2. It depends. It depends on the school, the athletic need, and the recruit. For schools that use “slots” and the slots are used up in ED1, then for sure a recruit needing a lot of coach support (due to lower stats) might be out of luck in ED2. On the other hand ED2 has been used by many recruited athletes where something went amiss in ED1.
