We have spoken to many coaches. We were on the road two weeks last summer. I guess our mistake is thinking that the ball was in their court so we were waiting for them to respond.

We have noticed that coaches waver in their enthusiasm. The coach at one school was urging my D to apply ED. That was a month ago. I guess the pre-read didn’t go well.

I should have mentioned that my D does have two OVs at NESCAC schools. A third liberal arts college in the south has been very encouraging. <the times="" at="" d3="" schools="" are="" noticeably="" slower="" when="" you="" go="" outside="" of="" new="" england.=""></the>

The reason I have been thrown by this recruiting is that last year, my D’s friend who is one year older was recruited all the way through March. She did not apply ED. I should add that her times were much faster. What I am getting from these responses is that my D’s times aren’t good enough to get recruited past August. That is really upsetting to learn.
