Non-Nescac High Academic D3s that use slots

My son’s experience last year with T&F recruiting was that the top academic schools that were closest to the Nescacs in terms of the significance of a coach’s support in the admissions process were Carleton, Grinnell, MacAlester, the Claremonts, Vassar, Emory, NYU, and Washington & Lee.

We got the sense from the Swarthmore, Chicago, Haverford, Johns Hopkins, and Wash U coaches that were recruiting him that things were less clearcut at those schools.

At Chicago, JHU and WashU that might have been partly (largely?) a reflection of him not being as highly sought by those schools, and I am not sure how much can be read into it.

But with Swat and Haverford I think it likely is the case that they are far from the NESCAC, MIAC and SCIAC schools in terms of importance of recruiting, and likely are also behind Emory, NYU, W&L, Vassar, and Grinnell.
