I think I was Blue Chipped before I got an LOA, nomination or admission. Christcorp, your wording was a little confusing there, but you can get a Blue Chip (at least in some sports) as a “plus” to your admissions packet. I would imagine that it’s worth about a third or so of a principal nomination in terms of qualification for admission, but that’s just my guess based on how coaches described it to me.
But, good point. Do your best academically, drop a line here and there in athletics, but no matter what happens with your athletics, you need a good academic score more than anything else.
