How much influence on athletics do D3 schools place on admissions?

<p>Another datapoint for Pomona-Pitzer, again for a different sport. My son and I visited last week and talked to the coach. He stated that he had a say in admissions and asked my son to let him know when his application was in so that he could work with the Admissions dept. My son’s academic stats are on the very low end of the Pitzer range, so I’m guessing if he’s admitted he’ll have the coach to thank.</p>
