How much pull do the D3 schools have with admissions? We all know that the D1 schools have massive pull to get their top recruits in, and often make big academic/score exceptions for top recruits. Is it the same at D3's?
It depends on the school. Some of the higher academic schools have no pull such as MIT. Some of the higher academics have a little pull and have some athletics slots with admission but not all slots. But the majority of D3 do have pull but if a kid is way below the standards of the school, there is only 1 slot if any at all. But if the kid is close the athletics will help.
Very little pull, and if someone told you the D-1 schools have massive pull they are lying, they don't. Duje isn't letting in a kid with sub-standard grades, Ivy's are not getting a kid in who isn't a top scholar, D-2 schools are not very competitive academically, so no pull needed there, they just have massive tuition costs so a lot of academic money is needed, so a good SAT score will be required there. Amherst and the rest of the NESAC schools are a no-go without top academics. not sure where you're getting information from but it seems way off here. Went through this already with a couple of kids, so you may want to email a few coaches.
I’m not sure where you get your information from, the Duke and the Ivy’s 100% will get in a mediocre student IF he is one of the top players in the class. Notre Dame on the other hand has very little wiggle room when it comes to academics.
Getting my information from coaches when my older went through the process. You're completely wrong.
Ivy kid came back and talked to the kids on our club team a few years ago and fully admitted there was no way he could have gotten in without lacrosse. Generally they have to be close but there are a few mediocre students that get accepted. And by mediocre I still mean pretty good but not IVY league good
Ivy kid, not a coach a kid. Talk to a coach please. And don’t get any information here, it’s not valid
