Stanford Recruiting (Pink envelope/early application??)

S didn’t complete the process with Stanford because he decided to go a different direction. However, what I was told this spring by the coach was that the coaches would submit some info on S to admissions, I’m guessing test scores, transcript and a coach evaluation of how important of a recruit he was. Admissions would then determine whether they would give him an early application. If they did, basically he would fill out what I believe was a complete application, including essays. The coach said it would probably take a month for S to complete, since he would need LOR’s and complete essays. Once that was done, admissions would give a review.

S was a high athletic and low academic recruit for Stanford at the time (he just got a test score this week that would have helped). Coach was pretty confident S could get the application and said he was 90% sure S would get in after filling out the application, but he wouldn’t have the final answer until probably July. I don’t know if that would be actual admission, or some “likely letter” type instrument, or if it would still just be verbal until signing day in November. I don’t think they were requiring a commitment from S to start the process, but we never got that far.
