Im going with yes. Im a recruit to Yale, and my recruiting experience was fast and fierce. I was a late recruit (November of my senior year). So, if you are getting talks of an official then I would say yes, yes yes they are interested in you. As well, Im assuming youre a high jumper (based on the name?), if you get yourself down here for a visit (good luck on the ACTs!), I will likely be meeting you!

Yes, you can have talks of a LL on the official - I did. If youre a good fit for the team and you like the school, the coach can talk about you applying early (as in like… 3 weeks after your official; I know a recruit who applied and got a LL in Oct of his senior year).

Not sure how being a second generation helps with admissions… I know a few people here who literally have a double or triple legacy to Yale, and when they applied Yale said it didnt hold THAT much weight, since they were applying you as a person, not your grandparents or parents accomplishments.

And Jumper101… have you tried simply emailing the coaches? They are people too haha, and if you write a professional-yet-direct message expressing your interest in Yale, it might help. Worst that can happen is they dont reply right?
