<p>coach's email</p>

<hr>

<p>I did get the tape yesterday and reviewed it right away. I was quite impressed with your play. You have good explosiveness of the ball and pursue running backs well. I can tell that you’re a fierce competitor — exactly the type of defensive lineman that we want at *****. </p>

<p>Long story short, <strong><em>, is that we’re very excited about your application to </em></strong>. I can envision you playing an immediate impact role on our team, particularly with some hard work in the off-season this summer. I hope you choose to come to **. We’d love to have you. </p>

<p>I gave your tape to my defensive line coach. He will review it in the coming days. </p>

<p>We also saw your grades and your ssat scores which are definately up to par. Although your grades could be a bit better, your ssat will definately help your application.</p>

<p>If you have additional questions, please let me know. Thanks for sending the tape. </p>

<p>Best,</p>

<p>This is an email i got from a top tier boarding school. won't specifiy b.c well yeah. It's for football.Just had a great call with him, he said "We'd love to have you, and you are one of top recruits." He also mentioned how ectastic my interviewer was about me. He told me I'd be an impactful player at the school. So is this some email a coach sent to be nice? Or is it genuine?</p>

<p>thanks a lot no prob good luck with whatever school you go to
but im fairly sure that im going to end up at a school that you arent applying to</p>

<p>good luck people underestimate how heavily boarding schools regard athletes and how important they think they are. good luck and congrats</p>

<p>Are you applying for financial aid? Is it a need-blind school? Sometimes coaches lose players they want because of heavy financial aid required. Make sure you don’t put all your eggs in one basket based on the e-mail. Apply to other schools. I imagine it works out most of the time, but not all.</p>

<p>Thought for sure DS was headed to a particular school–recruited, calls and e-mails from coach, grades and SSAT were excellent—but we needed $$$$. Got waitlisted with a note that there was not sufficent aid.</p>

<p>DS wasn’t planning on applying anywhere else; thank goodness he did. Received financial aid and is ridiculously happy so all ends well.</p>

<p>i am applying to a couple of schools. This one is from one of the top tier schools you would say, which has generous financial aid. This school should be in the HADES category… It starts with a C to give u guys a hint or is that too obvious =p Also my interviewer (we have been on really really good speaking terms) and said that financial worry shouldnt be my concern, and said quote "You are a very strong candidate for our school, although we cannot garuntee admissions during this time, we would love for you to choose choate.</p>

<p>also… the coach at this school told me I am one of the top recruits, in fact, he said I would be the top recruit besides some postgrads. but said i would be more vital to the school considering I would be there for three years compared to post grads who would be there for one. I have gotten familiar letters and calls with coaches from other schools who give GENERIOUS financial aid, one of them is even need blind…</p>
