unofficial school visits, tours, demonstrated interest

You can ask for the coach to do an academic pre read at any point. The Ivy has a formal process for admissions pre reads that happens beginning in July prior to senior year, but I do not believe that any D3 schools follow a similar policy. I would say though that for stats like you have listed the non Ivy style pre read itself will probably be meaningless. Pre reads are most helpful for gauging whether a particular recruit’s stats line up with what admissions expects. 36/4.0 obviously will satisfy that bar any place (assuming nothing weird with the rest of the application picture). Of much more interest for your daughter is the question of how many supported recruits with stats similar to hers has the coach failed to get past admissions, and why.

Like @mamom says, whether a coach has been successful at maybe bending the line on lower stat recruits isn’t gonna tell you much. What you want to know is if your daughter checks all the academic boxes, will the coach’s support be enough to tip the scales or whether admissions is still somewhat of a crap shoot.
