My son is a Junior and recently went to a showcase camp. He sent out letters to the schools that he is interested in to see what they thought of his performance. His strnghts and his weaknesses so he would know what to work on. He has only heard back form 2 so far but he only sent them out a week ago. One of them is a Div 1 school that he is very interested in but we have not toured it yet. My question is the Coach seems really interested in him. He explained that he cannot call him but that my son can call and speak to them. He said that he hopes to hear from him soon. So far so good. Here is the question: with the questionaire that he wants filled out he also advising my son to go ahead and apply to their school now as a junior. He said that it is just to be sure that he meets the school requirements and that he will not be commited to go to that school if accepted. I have never heard of this before. I thought that if you apply early then you are COMMITTED. So do you advise to do this or just do the questionaire and leave it at that for now. Plus since we have not toured the school just know them by reputation do we spend the money now for an application? Thanks for your help.
