<p>I think admissions officers are unlikely to come out and say so. Coaches are more likely to talk about what they can do for you, sometimes indirectly. One D3 coach at a T20 school told us supported athletes applying ED have >80% acceptance rate, >60% for RD. That sounds to me like a lot of ‘tipping.’ I’m sure if we’d taken him up on a ‘pre-read’ he offered, we’d have been looking at >>80% acceptance rate. And we’re in a small, non-revenue sport.</p>
