<p>My understanding from the several nescac coaches we dealt with is that they will provide a slot for an athlete whom they want, regardless of stats. With acceptance rates below 15% and many high stats kids getting turned down, it seems only right. Why would a strong studet/athlete use their one ED app without a promise? The one exception was the Tufts coach, who said she had unlimited spots for athletes with academic stats in the mid 50% or; greater.</p>
