according to a friend of mine who also applied ED this year, results will be released on the 14th at 7pm. She said she asked an AO lol
Thanks for that – yes, that all sounds about right.
In the end, we found that the academics were really more of a threshold issue. At these top schools, you probably want to be in the top 5% of your high school class (maybe 10%) with test scores in the middle percentile at that college. As you indicate, there are lots of good athletes who clear that mark. But the kids who get the most attention are the small slice of that larger pie who are also impact athletes. In many cases, these are legitimate (maybe middle-of-of-the-pack) D1 level athletes who decide to drop down to D3 for better balance and, perhaps, a better overall experience. These kids get lots of love, and there is something of a sliding scale at most of these colleges in terms of academics versus athletics. For the best athletes, the ACT scores, for example, may slide from a more customary 32 to a 29. Certainly, there is a basement in terms of how far these schools will drop.
For those who are very fine athletes but not probable All-Conference or All-American at the D3 level, the way forward is harder. Their task is to find the right fit, and, as you mention, they’ll probably need to bring something else to the table. Most of these kids will ultimately get very little coach support at any of these schools. Of course, many so-called “walk-ons” go on to be wonderful college athletes.
A week left :-S
Thanks for the info
Everything happens this week. I hope for the best for everyone! :x
@SwimDad99 congratulations for your son! That’s great
Hello! Does anyone know if it’s true that admissions notifications go out via email on 12/14 at 7pm? Thank you!
Two different people have said it. I’m going to hope it’s true, but I don’t know
is december 14th at 7pm 100% confirmed?
Some said 14th at 7pm and some said 15th at 7pm. That’s what i heard
Yeah, I am a recruited athlete for Haverford with a 36 ACT, national merit, and a 4.5 GPA. I think it says a lot about the school that they don’t give too much preference to athletes. Haverford is the best place ever! Has anybody heard yet? I am really nervous about getting in.
We don’t talk about scores here, but I think we’ll all hear back on the 14th
Did anyone receive the email saying that the decision will be emailed 14th at 7pm EST?
nope
I didn’t get an email
One of my friend got an email yesterday but neither did I.
Im freaking out about the outcome… hope to find myself coming back to this forum in two days with positive news!!
Finding out tonight according to Instagram!!
7 PM EST
Wow thanks for pointing that out or else I never would have looked! I’m so so nervous.
