My daughter was recruited to play a sport at Vassar and is there now and loves it. The process was very low key. It involved meeting with the coach and providing information about academics and sports achievements followed by an informal discussion prior to the Early Admission deadline. At least in our experience, the sense was that a student would need to be in the ballpark from an academic standpoint to be seriously considered as for admission regardless of one’s athletic prowess. If one were not in the ballpark academically for Vassar, there would be little hope. However, if one were in the running academically, then the athetic “hook” could help a lot because Vassar like all LACs wants a diverse student population that will keep its athletic programs vital and competitive. Hope this helps.
