<p>Does a coach know before the acceptance date if a recruit gets accepted?
If so are they allowed to tell?</p>
<p>i know in the ivies (sorry not d3) that the coach can ask for the status of an app....but the coach saying you got in doesn't mean you actually got in (hence the likely letters in the ivies)</p>
<p>hope that helps</p>
<p>It depends on the school but I know of no d3 schools that have likely letters. They will probably drop hints and such but no formal letter of admission besides the one everyone gets</p>
<p>Thanks,
I dont actually mean a letter, more on the line that the coach gets word from admissions before the student does.
If the coaches know, are they allowed to tell?
I know D3 schools have different rules than D1.</p>
<p>My daughter who was recruited did receive friendly calls from coaches prior to acceptance telling her to look in the mail for some good news...</p>
<p>Thanks,
The coach emailed yesterday telling her to look online to see if she got in but the page said no info until Feb.
So im thinking the coach knows and cant tell or she really doesnt know either.</p>
<p>This is so nerve racking!</p>
<p>Last year, after all his application materials were in, my son's D3 coach told him to call after he heard officially from the admissions office because he (the coach) was not allowed to talk to him until after that. (This is a NESCAC school.)</p>
<p>I imagine different schools have different policies, but after all was said and done (my son is a freshman at that college now) my clear impression was that the coach likely did know, but wasn't allowed to communicate at all with the students. He never indicated anything at all to my son as to the chances of his getting accepted, nothing encouraging, nothing discouraging. He was totally neutral really, at least until after the acceptance came. Then he said he "followed his application all the way through" and something about his being on the "list."</p>
<p>When my D forgot to email the coach after her acceptance (she was so excited and it slipped her mind), the coach emailed and asked if she had heard. The coach said that she wasn't able to tell my D before admissions did. (Also NESCAC)</p>
<p>D1's coach knew but let her find out from Adm</p>
<p>D2's D1 coach knew way ahead since her stats were high for school. Adm said she was an immediate admit and had her letter in hand within a week through OOS snail mail!!! She got an email two days after applying so the fat envelope wasn't a big surprise.</p>
<p>end of sophomore or junior year??
For example, if I am on the varsity golf team how do I approach the colleges. Do they come to watch me? What is the correct process, if there is one??</p>
<p>Junior year.
Go on the college websites that you want to attend, fill out an athletic profile.
F/u with letter and resume to coach.
Some coaches will contact you once you fill out the profile.
Some may come and watch you play but each school/Div. has different rules.
My dau. made a video and gave that when asked.
Also her club team and HS coaches were a great help.
You can look online and get ideas for resumes.</p>
<p>In our case Ds started the recruiting process at the end of their sophomore season and their summer season. In their sport coaches were already attending their national tournaments. D2 was open/interested in DI schools so they all came to watch her play the summer before junior year. She did unofficial visits and verballed in April of her Jr year. </p>
<p>If there are schools you are interested in send the coach an email and a player profile. We didn't have to fill out online questionnaires for most of the big schools but I'm sure it varies from each school and each sport.</p>
<p>My D2 really started in the Spring of sophomore year. We were told she was a little early. Here's a dirty, little secret - she wasn't early at all! To do it right, I feel she needed to be engaged the entire time. We're very happy with the results of all her hard work both on the court, in the classroom and with the recruiting process.</p>
<p>Academically strong..which are the great golf school for early athletic recruits.</p>
<p>My son started the process in the spring of his junior year, through the summer and into the first few weeks of the fall of his senior year. His sport doesn't require videos or watching games, it's all a matter of times -- and those are publicly available. He filled out the online recruitment forms of a number of colleges he was interested in --after researching their teams and how he might fit into them-- and then followed up with a letter + resume +transcript + test scores, etc. We visited the schools he was most interested in, and in those cases he emailed the coach ahead of time to schedule a meeting while he was on campus.</p>
<p>horseeagle, you may want to start a brand new thread with this golf question in the title. This post is gonna get buried.</p>
<p>By the way, your name has me picturing a really weird beast, kind of like a liger, only different.....</p>
<p>fwiw (academics first)</p>
<p>(golf first)</p>
<p>(balanced)</p>
<p>Daughter (a junior) just received an e-mail from a college coach (with whom she had spoken when we visited the school last Fall) asking her if she had any test scores to share yet.</p>
<p>Although, daughter has included the NCAA code on her test info, she has not designated specific schools to be sent her scores automatically. </p>
<p>Is there any reason not to disclose her test score(s) to college coaches at this point in time?</p>
<p>Are you OK with the score results? Is she retaking soon with possibility that they will go up substantially? If not, I don’t see the harm in just sending them to coach at this point. Not an official score report that you pay for to the school, but rather a photo copy of your student score report to the coach would suffice at this time. Coach needs to know if your child is in the ballpark for being admissible and won’t know without scores. If they are subpar and you expect them to go way up, I wouldn’t send yet. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>My daughter never sent a record of the scores, but did email them to the coaches. They just need to know if you are in the ballpark. If it’s a Div 3 and they need to see your scores a bit higher, they’ll let you know.
And yes, they know who’s in and who’s not. They have a short list of what applications they can ‘tag’, ‘influence’, ‘follow through the process,’ ‘support’ or whatever they want to call it. Figure 3 spots/coach/year. They are careful to only support those who can probably get in, and then depending upon the school you might get a letter a couple weeks early, a phone call, or whatever their school allows.</p>
