Seems like a very unusual year

YogisDad:

Can you help me with a few other questions?
First in the threads it states don’t commit without the coach’s “full support”. Is that not implied when the coach offers a slot and my daughter accepts it?
Second, lets say she verbally commits to an Ivy this week, applications for Fall 2022 class don’t really open for a year for regular students. Does she submit an admissions application a year ahead of everyone else to see if she can get a “likely”? If not then she cant get a “likely” determination for another year?
Thanks, first child who is doing this.

Making sure the coach is offering ‘full’ support though the admissions process is something many posters suggest, so as to make sure the recruit is understanding what the coach is saying. There have been many students on these boards who though they had a spot, but in reality, didn’t.

Class of 2022 recruits will send in their applications next cycle. So, if your D ‘commits to the process’ with an Ivy, she will fill out her app next Aug/Sept. Admission committees will start meeting in late September and send likely letters starting in October. Sometimes, schools don’t get around to sending every recruit a likely letter due to timing issues (some non athletes also receive likely letters), but the recruit is still accepted on decision day.

Meanwhile your D should keep her grades up, avoid disciplinary issues, and take an SAT or ACT.

Good luck.
