Email from Coach? Good sign?

The week ED decisions come out (this week), my child got an email from a coach of the sport she plays asking if she might be interested in playing once she get to X school-- she is not being recruited and has not reached out to the coach. Can I assume this is a good sign-- would the coach be reaching out to kids who were being rejected the same week? It seems pretty awful to reach out and then get a rejection a few days later…sigh

I can’t definitively answer your question, but I expect someone in admissions reached out to the coach to ask if they knew the applicant, and whether they would like this applicant on the team if admitted.

I do find the timing curious, certainly not a bad sign, but we don’t know how positive…at least your kid doesn’t have a long wait to find out!

Good luck.

So curious- let us know!

If your child hasn’t yet, I’d strongly recommend emailing back. It could easily add to a positive to their file.
