Athletic Recruiting: A College Admissions Cheat Code

Originally posted June 2023

In our program, we commonly refer to the application process in terms of academics. You submit your test scores, grades, and classes, and hope it’s enough to get you into your dream school. Well, did you know that there’s another way—a way to get into a top-level college without perfect test scores and perfect grades?

By now, you should know what I’m referring to, Athletic Recruiting, which if you’ve been following along with the last couple blogs and youtube videos, can be a possible spike. If you missed them however, check them out here, here, and here.

Even if you don’t think you’re quite up to the D1 level in your sport, I’d still recommend watching the video as there are many ways to leverage athletics to your advantage in college admissions.

P.S. - Have a high-performing high schooler w/ a 3.7 GPA or higher? We'll help get them into at least one of their top 5 dream colleges...and if we don't get them into at least one of their top 5 dream colleges, you don't pay us a penny.  Seriously.  College admissions isn't rocket science...but it is a science.  And we've cracked the code...year, after year, after year.  You can learn more about our world renowned all-inclusive, start-to-finish college coaching here and to see if your family qualifies for an introductory call.

P.P.S - Our most common question is "When should we start?!"  The answer is, if you truly care about giving your high schooler the best chance of college planning success, you should start NOW. 9th grade is not too early to start! 10th grade is certainly not too early to start! And 11th grade is far, far too late! (supporting data here to show just how much of an advantage you give your child by starting the process early).
