<p>My S is a track and field athlete who has been generating interest from several D3 and D1 schools, including Dartmouth and Brown. He has not been asked to commit to either of them yet but he is scheduling official visits with them in the coming weeks. My understanding is that admissions from both Dartmouth and Brown have done a pre read and he is a good candidate (according to what the coaches have said). My S would be elated to go to either of these schools but I hear all this talk of a likely letter but my son has not been offered one yet. Is it too early to get one? Will he be offered one on the visit? Or is it too late? What would he need to do to get one? If he gets a likely, will he even get in? Sorry for all the questions!</p>
