<p>Super score act ? What does that mean?</p>
<p>Taking the highest score from each category and coming up with a new score</p>
<p>the way Amherst coach Mills explained it…a 2100 on the SAT and football you are in…anything else he would need to work with admissions. This was part of his speech at the camp. (I loved him by the way… I think they should film his speech to show to all Parents). The farther you are from the 2100 on SAT, the more he has to give to admissions, so the kid has to be worth it. Also, a lot of the NESCAC schools, look to get the recruits the IVY’s chase but dont ultimately accept, so they may show a lot of interest, then suddenly go cold, as they just got a better recruit. He said this at his camp.</p>
<p>Also, know that position has an impact. expected grades are different based on position. Higher scores are needed at Williams and Amherst, while the rumor is Trinity will take the lowest grades of the NESCACS. all others fall in between. </p>
<p>there are certain coaches that have been known to string kids along and other that are up front and honest…keep that in mind. NESCAc football is great…</p>
<p>Whats the official “offer” for a nescac. I don’t plan on going, but it sounds like a good back up. You know how Ivys will tell you theyll support you in admissions and offer you the likely when you commit?</p>
<p>What is that for NESCACs, I was under the impression that they don’t really know what their class is till they come to the school. If this is the case, do they just support kids without having any formal commitment from them…or wait for kids to not get in early to an Ivy and then apply regular there?</p>
<p>Nescacs have certain amount of “slots” players . They are those recruits who are their most desired athletically but may need the most help with admissions. Coaches will have a certain amount of pull with admissions. The remainder of their recruits are also prescreened by admissions to determine who is meets criteria for admissions. If the coach asks you to apply ED, he thinks you will get in and he is supporting your application with admissions. However, there are no guarantees. Admission committees make the final decision.</p>
<p>Hmm ok. I wonder why they try so hard to pull Ivy rejects if their class is full after ED anyway. Someone posted that they don’t really know their class till they show up, so that led me to believe they saved a decent amount of spots for RD.</p>
<p>Idk, I guess I’m jsut not sure how you can use them as a back up if you have to apply ED</p>
<p>Well, just because they nvite you to go ED doesn’t mean everyone does. Some recruits are concerned about financial aid and need to wait and some want to take a chance ,apply RD and keep their options open. Also, they look to see who they get EDI, who then is an ivy reject and then they start the EDII round of invites. If they want you they will "pressure"you to go ED. Admissions criteria at the Nescacs are high so coaches know they have a better shot supporting you through ED than if you are in the regular admissions pool.</p>
<p>Oh ok thank you for clearing that up.</p>
<p>Attended Jr day Saturday with my son…We toured the facilities, met coaches, players were measured (height / weight), photo taken and then attended spring game</p>
