<p>does brown recruit? i can’t find a form on the site or any info about recruitment. should i just contact the coach?</p>
<p>Yes, they recruit, as far as I know.</p>
<p>Yes, you should contact the coach.</p>
<p>good looks, deag</p>
<p>It does recruit. Last year, a kid from my school went to Brown as a football recruit, and my tour guide was also a recruit.</p>
<p>If you're a senior and have not had any contact with the coach, then you are not going to be getting any help. But, you should definitely let him/her know that you hope to attend Brown and plan on trying to walk on to the team. Recruiting begins during your freshman year of high school, progresses during sophomore year (start of contact), really intensifies during junior year (letters), phone calls after junior year, then during senior year you have official visits and pressure to commit. If this does not sound familiar, you are not being recruited.</p>
<p>If you were going to be heavily recruited for a major sport I would pretty much agree with mesaboogie. However recruiting varies by sport and in intensity. </p>
<p>You can be contacted by e-mail and phone, visited by coaches, offered free visits to the school, and possibly get helped in the admission process ... this will happen to top recruits and will probably start fairly early. On the other end, given an initial contact by you (most sports have a contact form on their web page) the school may well continue communication and encourage your application ... and perhaps give you a slight tip in the admissions process ... this might happen in minor sports or if you'r be an OK contributor to the program. Some sports may well take walk-ons even if you are not recruited.</p>
<p>Bottom line, contact the coach and start a conversation ... it only takes a little bit of time and can only help.</p>
<p>One final suggestion ... check out the web page for Brown's team in your sport ... it likely provides descriptions for the current team members which will give you an idea of how you stack up to them as a high school athlete ... and if Brown is possibly in the ballpark for you.</p>
<p>I think the Ivy League has a rule that all teams must allow kids to tryout for the team (aka walk-ons), but then again, if they're full, they're full.</p>

The above web page details how recruits in Brown.
Also, the current atheletic director has left for Colgate. It will be replaced by the current director of admissions, Mr. Goldberger.</p>
<p>If you are on the recruit list, you basically just has to meet the minimum AI( academic index) which is composed of SAT, rank, GPA.....to be accepted. Harvard, Princeton and Yale and Dartmouth are higher, but the other four schools in the Ivy League are substantially less demanding.</p>
<p>Coaches can not contact you until after June following junior year. They can respond to emails from you before that, and can return phone calls, but often will not because it is a fine line between what they can and can not do. Check out the Ivy League website for rules.</p>
