When do Ivy and D3 coaches usually make offers and ask for commitments?

If you would remotely consider going to the other coaches’ schools, send your transcripts!! If there is no way you would ever go to their schools, reply politely to them that you don’t think the school is a good fit for you, but thank you for reaching out.

You don’t know how everything will shake out, and what choices you will have, so in my opinion, it’s best to be saying “yes” a lot now (in other words, don’t turn a school away, even though odds are you may not attend) , and once you know exactly what your choices are then you can start winnowing down.

And people consider that ethical? I am asking, I don’t know. Like if I tell Princeton (picking a random school) that I want a preread when the chance I want to go there is super slight, and they have X number of prereads, isn’t that taking from someone?

And while it might be that in the end, after I see the other schools, if I don’t get in anywhere I can afford or if I really hate the schools when I see them in the fall, is there any chance Princeton will still want me? Won’t they have said never mind after I tell them I can’t decide yet?

Does any of this change because I have good enough scores and grades that it seems like the pretend is a sure thing?
