Contact with coach question

<p>I filled out one of those athletic things on the website but have not received any e-mail in response as of now (sent about 1 week ago).
Has anyone done this before? How long did it take for a response? Do you think that the coach will wait until after break?</p>

<p>If you are a senior applying for 9/08 admission, and not a recruited athlete, you likely will not hear anything from the coach prior to admission. Most of the recruiting contact is completed by this time of year. Once you are admitted (think positively) email the coach making them aware of your status.</p>

<p>If you are really interested in a sport, contact the coach directly by phone (he/she may even be around during break, it doesn't hurt to try). It may be that one of his/her recruited athletes went somewhere else and, if nothing else, having someone on the inside know you certainly doesn't hurt.....Coaches that I met have all been VERY nice and even when I thought that it a long shot, I was surprised by coaches' willingess to talk to me. Remember D3 schools don't recruit overtly.....</p>
