<p>How much pull does a coach have with admissions at WashU to help get a student accepted, assuming the student has good academic credentials?</p>
<p>if you are a recruited athlete (xc i guess) it is a HUGE hook... its like being a URM + some</p>
<p>thanks for your help, I didn't know how much it helped at WashU considering it is a DIII school</p>
<p>My son is on the team at Wash U. I think that having a coach express some interest in a recruit to the admissions office definitely helps. Feel free to PM me. I can put you in touch with my son if you have other questions.</p>
<p>M's Mom, what sport does your son play?</p>
<p>XC & Track</p>
