is this sincere or just an automatic response?

I totally agree with TopTier. My DD has been offered a slot as a CGA Scholar. It is a really big decision, and you should know all of the facts and what you’re getting into. She is also a recruited XC/TF runner. This is how the process started for her and grew from there once she filled out the questionnaire. We still get the generic emails from him as far as the recent XC/Track meets or when something special happens with the team, but my D and him exchange emails on a regular basis as well as phone calls and kept him updated as far as her times and accomplishments, and he’s answered any questions that I have had as a parent. But she also got emails from him recommending things for her to do like the AIM summer program, which she did, and the Cadet for a Day, which she did, where she was able to shadow a cadet to class and attend practice with the team. So she was able to get a good idea of what she would be in for if she received an appointment. Not sure how it worked as far as her being offered the slot, but he told us to let admissions know that she was a recruited athlete.

She stayed in contact with Coach Brown, followed his advice, visited and applied and will be off to New London in July. Hope that helps, and good luck to you.
