I was invited on my first official visit to a top ranked school of my sport (track)! I’ve been told by the coach that my numbers (both in the sport and in the classroom) are above the average incoming freshman athlete/student average, which seems like a good sign! It’s not my number 1 choice however and some coaches have hinted heavily at offering me an official after pre-reads (some of which are this week). A few questions about officials…

-How much does an official mean in terms of being offered a spot? How many athletes are usually invited on officials?
-What do I do if I don’t want to/can’t go to this due to my other top choices offering me official visits?
-Tips for official visits?

I’m VERY new to this and don’t know what to do!

Thanks
