My recruited athlete (slot) was supported for admission into a particular program into which students are admitted directly only (students at that school can’t transfer into the program or change majors to that one later, must be admitted directly as a freshman). D1 school. Admission to that program was a bit of a carrot to get kid to commit, in other words, we can only support you for that program if you commit by next week sort of thing. It ended up being a gamble of committing to gain admission to a very selective program at a very competitive school, or holding out for a possible but not yet extended offer to an even more competitive school.
