<p>Can someone with experience tell me about the transcript read with NCAA?</p>
<p>The form on line lists A=4, B=3 etc...no weight for Honors nor AP? No weight for B+ vs A-?</p>
<p>I see that there is a form to have the transcripts sent...is that summer after Jr year to get cleared to be recruited? Is that redone after graduation?</p>
<p>How does this work if the student takes the ACT? </p>
<p>I realized that without any kind of weight for honors and the APs...and straight As, Bs...that kiddos gpa will be calculated differently.
Does that hurt recruiting in anyway...beyond raising the minimum for SAT on that slkiding scale/threshold?</p>
<p>My understanding is the only affect of recalculating by the NCAA is the raising of the minimum test scores needed. But with a GPA of 3.5 +, all you need is like a 400 on the SAT or something ridiculous like that. I don’t think it has anything to do with recruiting other than deem the athlete eligible to compete.</p>
<p>The NCAA is only checking to see if prospective athletes meet minimum standards (which are ridculusly low) … your kids should have NO issues getting through the process … I believe there is an early clearance process which given your kids stats I would think they meet … so I’d suggest submitting early and not worrying at all</p>
<p>Coaches and college admissions officers do not see the grades and scores you’ve submitted to NCAA. They see the official transcript and whatever else you present to them. I asked this question a couple of years ago because of my concerns about the form that you mention, fogfog. An outstanding student like yours is not who NCAA is worried about. And yes, you’ll be updating scores and transcript directly to NCAA after graduation. If you haven’t used up your free scores with SAT, you might want to save one for NCAA The student needs to be registered with NCAA before or around July following Junior year to go through D1 recruiting because the coaches will need to inform NCAA of visits and will ask for their NCAA number.</p>
<p>it asks if the athlete has played for any other teams than high school team…
so
if a student has played during the summer for a camp and competed at a national event,
is that a team…?</p>
<p>and then when it asks what you got, ie a team t shirt for eample (all stuff we paid for) do we include that and then the Yes- the parent paid for it…</p>
<p>how does this stuff get accounted for…
meaning do we not each summer camp or summer team our student played with outside of the high school team?</p>
<p>and would also using a private training coach have to be listed if you go to an event with that coach without the high school team coach</p>
<p>although I’m pretty sure they are not worried about anything you paid for … they are verifying the athletes are academically eligible and amatuers in this sport. So as a runner you kids could not have directly accepted cash prizes at a road race for example … the money would have to go into their AAU training account (or whatever they are now) … and they would not be worried about the free race t-shirt but they would want to know about the TV they won.</p>
<p>Runners win hundreds of dollars worth of stuff (mainly shoes) if they are competing in community events in the off season, or post season events like the ones Nike hosts. We were told (by a good authority) that none of this would jeopardize amateur status in any way. It’s fine that they play for non-high school teams, other clubs, and so on, assuming they aren’t getting paid to do so. Never kept track of or report summer camps or post season coaching. Do you mean situations where your child was coached by a non-school coach and traveled with the team somewhere, and the expenses of the coach were paid? Not sure what that would have to do with the athlete’s amateur status.</p>
<p>yeah beyond a water bottle or a t-shirt for the camp/club team…nothing of note and we paid $$$ for it all.</p>
<p>No sponsorships. </p>
<p>As for the private coach–we pay for the coaching like you would a gym membership etc and any travel for the coach to somewhere for the kids to compete is split amongst the families of the team members…</p>
