@Booajo, why against the ED route? Don’t underestimate the value of a coach’s nudge at highly selective D3’s as all unhooked applicants have stellar academic records - figure a 1500 SAT / 34 ACT is the baseline for ORM’s.

With that in mind, if your DS can get coach’s support that could enable him to have several highly selective choices in the RD round.

My XC/Track DD had that profile and along with the support of some coaches ended up with great RD acceptances to pick from - could it have happened without XC/track, maybe, but why not showcase everything.you can bring to the admissions committee. And yes, she committed to a great NESCAC school/team at accepted students day and all is well.
