<p>Wondering if any football players have been asked by a NESCAC or Ivy coach to apply ED?
And if so how was the request worded and how was it communicated to you??</p>
<p>Glad you asked because I’m curious too. My son is a rising Senior and we’re just coming off a crazy summer of recruiting madness. No coach has asked him directly to apply ED…but we’ve been to at least 3 or 4 prospect days where the head coach gave the stats of last years’ recruits to the efffect of 90%-95% ED applications.</p>
<p>Last year my son was asked in late July by two NESCAC schools to apply ED, and then two more by mid-August. The first two were done at Prospect Days where he was pulled aside for a private talk. But this does not mean you are late or out of luck. It unfolds at different timetables for different schools and players. </p>
<p>There is nothing wrong with your son calling a coach and asking directly where he stands. Asking directly is okay: “Are you interested enough in me as a student-athlete to support me for admission?” Their answer will give you a good idea on where you stand. </p>
<p>Has your son submitted his transcript and SATs for a pre-read? If so, there should have been feedback on where he fell in the “slot” system the NESCAC uses (for football at least).</p>
