<p>Hi I am a rising senior and I am looking forward to applying to some D3 schools. I was wondering when is the deadline for submitting those online recruiting forms on the athletic websites?</p>
<p>Hi bobob:</p>
<p>There really isn’t a “deadline” for submission of recruitment questionnaires HOWEVER, you should forward as many questionnaires to Schools you’re interested in as soon as you can. Coaches will continue to recruit for their Teams until at such time they’re satisfied with the talent pool that has chosen to attend their school/and participate on their Team. Some Coaches, already have their eyes on certain athletes, and others begin to contact athletes during summer months. As more student athletes contact Schools/Coaches, the competition increases. I do not know what sport you participate in, but if you’re a Spring Sport Athlete, then it is best to complete those questionnaires now, including all of your best Times/Stats from this past season. Ex: If you’re a Spring Athlete, your High School season of play will not occur until LATE in the Senior Year. Follow up with Coaches by phone and email, and continue to show interest in their programs. </p>
<p>Although D3 Schools do not offer Athletic Scholarships, Coaches have already begun compiling lists of potential roster athletes from on-line profiles, individual contacts, and Club/High School Coaches. Be sure to place your profile in line for consideration as soon as possible. If you’re on a Club Team, ask your Club Coach to write a letter of recommendation highlighting your athletic skills, academic strengths, and leadership abilities. </p>
<p>Good Luck To You !</p>
