Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve answered the questions we get asked the most about college admissions—so you don’t have to wait.
How important is the athletic recruitment process?
Getting recruited as an athlete is one of the biggest strengths you can possibly have to get accepted into a top university. Every university needs to fill in a class of rowers, tennis players, golfers, squash players, fencers, basketball players, football players, track and field, volleyball players, and the list goes on. However, understanding the process to get recruited is a tricky and often times complex process.
Where do you start? What are the appropriate steps to take to get noticed by coaches? Getting a vouch of approval from a coach at the college or institution will signal to the admissions committee to consider your application seriously and is a sure fire way to get an acceptance letter.
How do you help with athletic recruitment?
The recruiting process is a complex process that requires you to market your credentials and get noticed by coaches. While having competitive key stats in your particular sport to get recruited is important, conducting the proper steps and outreach to coaches is just as paramount when it comes to the athletic recruitment process.
- Learn the complex break down of the athletic process to get recruited at the most competitive institutions
- Highlight your key stats and consult with us to determine whether you are eligible for athletic recruitment
- Craft together a highlight video to showcase your athletic prowess and demonstrate the “wow” factor to the coaches
- Develop an academic and extracurricular resume that showcases your involvement in and outside the classroom
- Conduct the necessary outreach and send continued updates to coaches to increase your odds of getting recruited
At AdmissionSight, we have helped students with the athletic recruitment process and get into top universities. However, we suggest that students do not rely solely on this route alone as an “all or nothing” gamble. For Ivy Leagues, you still need to have solid academic and extracurricular credentials to get your foot in the door. While schools like Stanford and USC have a National Letter of Intent (NLI) program where you can essentially “secure” your spot at the university during an early signing period, the Ivy Leagues recruit athletics by providing a likely letter to applicants.
