Athletics and College Admission

Parents Forum

<p>We are just beginning the college search with our son who is an accomplished 2 sport athlete and B student at one of the top prep schools in the East. He would like to go to a Div 3 college where he can combine a great education with great athletics. His top choices are the NESCAC schools (Colby, Bowdoin, Trinity have shown significant interest in him athletically) and clearly he will need a "tip" to gain admission as his grades are a bit below the standard. He should be in range for SAT scores. </p>

<p>How does banding/academic index work at the NESCACs? Anyone been through this before?</p>

<p>I'd like to know too, I've been playing soccer all through middle and high school and I'm wondering whether that will help me get into college or get some scholarships.</p>
