@BBSBfan posted:I would be cautious about this ACT estimate. There are some NESCAC schools where the low end of the average ACT range is about 30 (Conn College, Bates, Trinity) and others where the low end is 33ish. There are a few extra elite schools (M.I.T, U Chicago) where this probably is true though.
From our direct experience, a decent rule of thumb is 1-2 pts below the average low range of ACT plays. This is for a fully coach supported slot. I would think your son wwould attract one of these if his velo is where mentioned or maybe 1 mph higher depending on projectability. Not sure about coach tips but this comment may be accurate for those. I have seen a few years of commits for some NESCAC schools and haven’t seen a declined at admissions yet. As such, if you speak to an experienced coach down the line, it is their business to get this process right and they should give you accurate feedback.
Pretty much agree with this statement. There is definitely wiggle room with test scores if you drop tanks or throw gas. The 5th year and xfer portal definitely made the roster way more competitive at my kid's HA D3 and other D3s too from what kid told me. I think 2023s recruiting is worse than 2022s.
