<p>I was on several selective LAC threads this spring, and there were kids who received earlier acceptance letters - some were athletes, but not all. They weren’t very early - maybe 3 weeks ahead of April 1.</p>
<p>My D is in the same position - several coaches have inquired if she would consider ED, but she hasn’t even finished visiting schools on her list. I don’t think she will be able to settle on a school by Nov 1. The coaches want you to do ED so they know who is coming in. One coach told her she would be accepted ED, but still had a good shot at getting in RD, and she didn’t want to lose her as a recruit by pressuring her to apply ED if she wasn’t ready. I really liked that coach!</p>
