<p>NYU: Match
Chicago: High Match
Georgetown: Low Reach
Dartmouth: Low Reach
Yale: High Reach
As for the other three schools, it really depends on your standing with the coaches.</p>
<p>What club do you play for?</p>
<p>Thanks nickst22
I’d rather not say, just for privacy issues, but we’re always strong competitors and a strong SoCal team.</p>
<p>Understandable. I was just wondering because i also played a few years for a pretty decent socal club team as well.</p>
<p>Ah cool! We’ve probably played each other without knowing it! Are you looking to play in college?</p>
<p>Not at the varsity level. I played club through sophomore year and contacted a few college coaches that summer, but i’ve got a bad right knee that swells up when i play a lot, so i haven’t played at the same level since then.</p>
<p>i think you’d definitely get into NYU and chicago, maaaybe georgetown or mit too. good luck!</p>
<p>just out of curiosity, how did you get recruited? Did you just got a phone call out of the blue? and did you actively sought after the coaches?</p>
<p>Thanks landlocked :)</p>
<p>shuai - Well, it depends. Some coaches saw me at regional or national tournaments I played in with my club team and began contacting me from there. Other coaches I started contact with. I constantly keep in touch with them, update them on my scores, grades and performance. Its a tough process, especially at the ivies and mit/stanford. You have to be persistent though!</p>
<p>^That’s sick. All those hard work paid off in the end. Good job. I’m pretty sure the Vball team coach has more pull than the rowing team coach, and i know a couple people who got into ivies with average stats and were recruited by the rowing coach. </p>
<p>all i did was email an assistant coach for basketball and never heard back so i never bothered again lol. That sucks, but i’m not that good so meh</p>
<p>Rowing for ivies is HUGE! Especially with Harvard Princeton Yale! Huge sports there, they’re really good. </p>
<p>And you can still play club or intramural in college :D</p>
<p>Yeah, volleyball is awesome!! If you are able to get recruited, and it sounds like you can be with your great persistence, then I can see you at one of your dream schools!! Your ACT is solid, but your gpa IS a little on the lowside. That being said, you have good chances if you are recruited, but you are otherwise not too appealing a candidate to them. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks NW :)</p>
<p>Anyone else, over 550 of you looked at this :P</p>
<p>Wow, recruited for vball? That’s something incredible right there.</p>
<p>Harvard: reach (no matter what you do, Harvard will forever be a reach, unfortunately (except for those lucky few who have cured cancer)
Princeton: reachy (still as hard to get into, but the recruitment + your stellar stats, in my opinion, should increase your chances by quite a bit)
MIT (EA): reach (this is where its kinda iffy… As others have said your science/math area isn’t quite as focussed as the rest of your stats. Although you do have good chances, it’s still a reach)
U Chicago (EA): match/ideal
Dartmouth: sub-reach
Yale: reachy
NYU: match/ideal
Georgetown: slightly reachy match</p>
<p>I suggest increasing your SAT II’s to round out your application. And NSHSS is the one that you pay for to gain membership, isn’t it? That one won’t give you much pull although the numerous awards you received for volleyball (the sport you are being recruited to) will certainly more than make up for it.</p>
<p>Why don’t you go for art, being such an art oriented person? A Volleyball playing art person… sounds interesting. Your EC’s point towards those two as well, making you a strong candidate</p>
<p>With that said, your top choices will forever be a foggy area - that is, certainty will never be dredged from those colleges and universities, but I’d say your volleyball would give you a little, tiny, edge at Princeton and Harvard.</p>
<p>I’d appreciate a reply back

<p>Yeah dude, if you were pulling vball for USC or UCSB, then maybe, but HYPSM is not exactly one to recruit those stats.</p>
<p>Thanks for the detailed feedback pentiumxp400 
I chanced you back :)</p>
<p>and HOLA - you’d be surprised by the athletes, who have much much much weaker stats than I, that get into those schools 
I know one to many!</p>
<p>Anyone else? Ill chance you back :)</p>
<p>Okay, so being a volleyball player myself (Norcal), and going through a lot of the same stuff as you’re going through- (3 years varsity, captain as a Junior, 4 years club) - I can kind of weigh in on your situation. Just an FYI in case you didn’t know, but I heard from a parent on my team that Princeton does not weigh athletics as much as the other Ivy league schools, and probably even MIT. I would imagine that the Harvard coach will try to pull more for his class of 2014, seeing as their roster was down to only around 10 players due to injuries (I think?). It also depends on positional need, I’m in contact with both MIT and Harvard as a setter, and MIT is being more responsive so far.</p>
<p>That being said, I think your chances for the Varsity Vball schools are</p>
<p>1) NYU = match
2) Harvard = Reach, but there’s a chance if Coach Baise pulls for you
3) MIT = Definitely a big reach
4) Princeton = Probably the biggest reach</p>
<p>Non vball schools</p>
<p>1) Georgetown = More or less a match
2) Chicago = Really depends on how well you write your essay here, if it’s good you could be a match
3) Dartmouth = Reachy
4) Yale = Probaby biggest reach of the 8…super super competitive admissions and no varsity team</p>
<p>Also…balboa bay?</p>
<p>Hi evannn, thanks for your response!
I thought that Princeton had the most pull out of them all!? Haha, guess I was wrong. Yeah, the Harvard team was down to nine players I think, which sucks because you can’t even scrimmage in practice. Are you going to the recruiting weekend thing for MIT? The coach is super sick! </p>
<p>And no…I’m further south than that! Haha. Are you Bay to Bay??</p>
<p>Yeah i’m b2b. Further south? Highline? Seaside? Epic? In any case you guys probably do really well. One of the middles on my team’s dad told me that Princeton doesn’t have much pull…so I’m not sure. I haven’t even submitted a form to Princeton’s coach yet, not sure if i want to go and if it’ll be worth it if that’s true…</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m probably going to MIT, have a flight picked out, will probably book today or tmrw</p>
<p>Nice, me too!
Yeah, they just got a new coach over at Princeton so I’m not sure if that will hinder or help them with recruiting?</p>
