I’m being recruited for Princeton athletics, and aiming for a Likely Letter at the end of November. Is there any certain system that coaches use to pick their LL recruits? Or is it just up to the admissions office? Compared to the others I know being recruited at Princeton, my stats are above theirs, I don’t even know if that matters, though!
