<p>We also have Ivy recruiting experience but not in football. So what I say is based on what we’ve seen personally and been told by Ivy coaches in our D’s sport.</p>
<p>First, what year is your son? Second, when you say they’ve seen his academic stats, is the “they” you refer to the coaches, or the coaches AND the admissions office? In other words, did he have a pre-read from admisssions? If so, I’d say you can be pretty confident in an eventual positive admissions result–more so if it’s a lower Ivy. But if it’s HYP, while you can still be reasonably confident, just know that sometimes the Admissions Office will see something in an athlete’s application they don’t like and so they say “no” despite the original green light they gave after the pre-read.</p>
