Ian123, it depends on the school. They are all different. Did you have a formal preread? If you did, I think you can relax. Not all the Ivies have prereads, so if you have applied to one of those, I understand why you might be nervous, but it sounds like the coach knows what he is doing. The coaches ought to be quite good at guessing which athletes will get through admissions.

About first quarter grades, are they normally required for early admission? If not, then I don’t know why they would ask for them. They will want them eventually, but only to make sure there haven’t been any major changes. I vaguely recall that my d applied early to a nescac school and at some point they asked for first semester grades but that was after she was accepted.
