Will Athletics help me get into a College?

I agree, post this in Athletic Recruits (it’s under the Specialty College Admissions Topics section). But since you’re here: D3 coaches and programs vary a lot as to whether they have any pull with Admissions. I remember reading on CC that the MIT coach, for example, had no pull with them. We also had a long dialogue with the NYU coach who had some sway but wasn’t a miracle worker and was basically begging my son to re-take the SAT. In your case your stats are really good already, so the athletics should give you an additional edge. Also although D3 NEVER gives athletic scholarships (repeat NEVER thats verboten in D3), schools with a coach that wants you will often find academic money for you.
