Does anyone here know how much input or weight a coach has on the appointment process?
My son/daughter is still in the candidate pool and grades and scores are good. If the coach forwards a player recommendation form/letter to admissions, how much weight does this carry as long as your grades and scores are competitive?
Thanks
Someone can correct me if I mistate something. From earlier posts regarding this coach's letter, I believe that it is seen as another recommendation. It holds more weight for applicants for evaluating whether or not to offer prep school. Again, I seem to remember seeing this answer on a very old post, but someone more knowledgeable can help with this.
My son was a recruited athlete and I know that there is still huge emphasis on being the "whole person" ( grades, ECs, leadership, etc..) Regardless of the sport, the applicant will ultimately still have to have the entire package.
