@dadof4kids thank you! the coach i talked to didn’t give me any stats for me to hit, but I’ll just hope for the best! In the case that the preread comes back bad, would the coach still want me for the team, and should I still apply?
I think Pitzer is test optional, but your 34 ACT is good, I would submit it also.
@happywaffles, that’s exactly what you should do - keep being proactive. If you haven’t sent a copy of your ACT yet, forward it as well - the ACT will allow to download the Score Report, so you can do that and forward.
I think the coach will tell you how to proceed after the preread. Unless there is some red flag you haven’t mentioned, I would be surprised if it isn’t positive.
ok good news – the preread came back positive! but she told me that admissions still mean everything and just told me to apply. Is that really all there is to d3 “recruiting”?
Could be. But you really need to ask the coach. If it feels weird calling him/her back, blame your dad wanting to know for sure where you stand (that’s what happens in my house!). But just point blank ask, so what exactly does this mean? In your experience, what % of students with a positive preread, my stats, and the level of support you are giving me get accepted? That’s a very reasonable question, and the coach is almost certainly been asked that question several times before. You probably need to make sure to mention all 3 of those factors too.
In my experience most coaches don’t lie, but they don’t necessarily offer information that hurts them either. If you ask the wrong question, they may know what you meant to ask but answer what you actually asked instead because it sounds better.
My D asked all of those questions dadof4kids mentioned. As dad stated the coaches have heard all these questions before. Write the questions down, read from your list and write the coaches answers down. My D was required to apply ED1 to get coaches support, but it is obviously too late for that. Ask if you need to apply ED2 or if RD is OK. Good luck.
Playing dumb was my specialty. “But what does that mean?” was my favorite question.
