<p>Cbw123, sorry to be confusing! See ohiodad’s post #83, that is exactly what I meant about a coach not sacrificing a likely letter slot but otherwise attempting to “recruit” a kid with good stats. It wouldn’t be fair. I think the way it works is that if your application goes to the adcom meeting for athletes, the coach is using a slot/LL. Otherwise your app goes the regular way with all the other applicants, and you take your chances, even if the coach says he will write a letter or otherwise try to recommend you.</p>
<p>I will definitely share the end of the journey, good or bad! </p>
