Columbia University

The recruiting process is pretty basic to all schools ...I have been helping kids for a number of years - I tell them all the same thing. Freshman year is the year you start your research, keep a list of all the schools and their minimum standards (athletically and academically - no sense barking up the wrong tree). Sophomore year get those emails out - hundreds of them. Junior year narrow everything down - be seen by your target schools and by summer, going into Senior year you will know where you stand and what direction to focus on. Pretty basic stuff. You can get more info on my site or contact me through my site www.BaseballPrep.org

I have a more generic question. My kid just started high school but he is already narrowing his choices down as he wants big city/high academics. So we picked out 12 or so Ivy/NESCAC/Centennial type schools and filled out the questionaires over the summer (yeah, I helped him). I told him not to get jacked up if he got a bunch of emails thanking him for his interest and camp invites and stuff because they would be after my money and I figured there would at least be a computer generated thanks for filling it out. Instead he got 0 responses. I know they have a different recruiting schedule but I thought they would at least acknowledge that he filled them out. Do they just not have any interest in a 2017 yet?
