Admissions offices know the difference between different schools so don’t sweat the GPA if it’s good for your school and you’ve taken rigorous classes.

What I was saying above is that as an athlete, the coach of your sport can be the most informative about what will be needed as a recruit. That’s your best bet in terms of info. Some of the most famous Stanford football players, now NFL stars, we’re high school valedictorians. The coaches know that in many cases, they can find great players without having to beg admissions to make exceptions for them.

To that end, your best bet is to get your stats as high as you can (work on ACT) and do as well as you can in your sport so you’re as well positioned as possible. And look at other schools as well. It’s never great to be locked into one option until you know the feeling is mutual.
