MIT DIII versus UPenn DI swimming (mens)

That’s a tough call because those are both tough schools. Is EA non-binding at MIT? Is Penn your first choice? If the answer to both questions is yes, then you should be fine. If you get into Penn you will go, and if you don’t you won’t have shut out MIT (if you had to choose one or the other for early application)

I’d be very nervous about a coach who wants to wait and see if something better comes along, honestly, especially with the competition to get into the ivy league schools. My daughter just went through this and had friends who looked at Penn - and she also has a friend at MIT - a swimmer, in fact.

These are stressful times, waiting to see what will happen. In the end, some will go with the bird in hand - but if neither can offer you that you might just have to wait and see.

Good luck at your championship meet!
