We’re a family of a junior looking at NESCAC schools as well (a runner). I have no real knowledge of how far a particular school is willing to drop below unhooked-student-academic-standard, but getting the coaches to submit your child’s stats for a preread is the first step. That will give you all the info you need, including perhaps a SAT score that must be achieved. Other threads on here have confirmed that NESCAC coaches have said the historic July 1 date for prereads is being moved to August 1 this year. It seems to apply to all sports, not just football. Will your child be taking the SAT before then? My gut says that it might be unlikely (but really, what do I know?) for a tippy-top school like Amherst or Williams to drop down to a 3.2 student, but if you’re aiming for schools other than that top cohort your chances are better.

Do the coaches already know your child’s gpa? They don’t typically waste time with a student they know can’t get through the process, so if the coaches are aware and the conversations are ongoing, that’s a good sign. As is almost always the case, ask the coach directly. They are your best source of information.
