<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>Recently I got a message from a Harvard coach saying he is interested in continuing the recruiting process. I have already committed to another school, but Harvard has always been my dream school. One question: can anyone who has undergone the recruiting process comment on this language--for example, if Harvard told me they were coming to my home tomorrow, that would be one thing...this language, however, is vague...</p>
<p>You are wise to note the vague language- the coach does not want to commit to anything yet. But if it is truly your dream school, this is the time to listen to his interest.</p>
<p>You said you committed to another school- was that a verbal (non-binding) commitment, or a Letter of Intent signed? </p>
<p>Also take a look at Harvard’s mid-range stats for SAT/GPA to get a realisitic view if admissions would approve your app. </p>
<p>There is great information on Ivy recruiting on the Specialty Admissions site here on CC, click on Athletic Admissions.</p>
<p>Hey - welcome. It can be hard to gauge the level of interest from a coach. I’m sure you know this, but I wouldn’t kick the school to whom you’ve already committed to the curb unless H admissions can give you the holy grail, Likely Letter.</p>
<p>Thanks for your responses. </p>
<p>To the first poster: it was just a verbal commit…I haven’t received a likely letter but my SATs and GPA are within Harvard’s range. </p>
<p>And to the previous poster: You’re right–it has been difficult to tell a coach’s level of interest. I guess I’ll try to contact him and see what happens…This process is turning out to be much more involving than I had envisioned. </p>
<p>Thanks, again everyone!</p>
