I’m being recruited currently. Williams allegedly doesn’t recruit kids ED, or perhaps that’s a policy that applies to just my sport. still, the coach has talked to a couple admissions officers on my behalf and “tagged” my ED app. he then says that if I get deferred, he would recruit me RD. so that’s how recruitment works supposedly. you won’t get in ED as an athlete unless you have very competitive academics, which it appears you have.

“Should I email the coach this June and get in contact with him or should I just do the recruited athlete questionnaire?”
email him right after Junior year. what I did was fill out the online questionnaire, and right after sending that in, I sent a more explicit letter explaining my academic background, intended major, specific interests in williams (it’s a unique school so acknowledge why you are attracted to williams specifically), and then detailed my athletic accomplishments. I sent the letter to the email of both the head coach and assistant coach. I got a phone call from the coach the next day, and talked with him every other week up until now. he coordinated an official visit for me which was a blast and sold me on the school completely.

“Also, does being Jewish fall into the category of Affirmative Action?”
not at all
