Reply to "D3 "Slots""

In addition to what has been offered, I think among slots you will find a banding system in NESCACs and other D1s as well as Ivy & Patriot.  Ivys refine their banded slots using their AI calculation  For D3 NESCAC example purposes:

 

Band A - SAT scores 700+ avg above 680, SAT 2 720, GPA top 5%

Band B - SAT scores 650+, avg above 610, SAT 640, GPA top 15%

Band C - SAT scores 630+, avg above 580, SAT2 600, GPA top 20%

Band D - SAT scores 600+, avg above 530, SAT2 560,  GPA top 25-35%

 

These bands will vary by school, and the number of slots per band will vary.   You need to ask the coach how many slots and what are the band breakdowns.  Amherst's "B slot" will be different from Hamilton's "B slot" for example.  Schools have a different number of slots per year, but the band distribution may stay the same.  From what I've been told the AD determines the distribution of slots per sport.   Football and basketball may get a vastly different number of C and D bands than baseball for example.   There are a number of advantages for the recruit who doesn't need Admission help, and various strategies a coach may need to use to get the recruits he really wants.  It is best to ask a lot of questions.
