My 2017 is barnstorming through three high academic D3's in the next week. He's had positive admissions pre-reads at all three schools, and each coach has promised to support him in the admissions process (honestly, I'm not sure if those are one and the same thing, or two different things; they were mentioned to us at different times by each coach, fwiw). The hope is that after this trip he'll be more clear about which school is the best fit, academically and athletically.
There's a wealth of info on the site about the kinds of questions to ask, but I thought I'd list the ones important to us here. If I'm missing any questions you think should be asked, please add them. Thanks in advance.
In no particular order:
Where do I fit in with your plans for the team in the next few years? What do you see me adding to the team?
What does the daily fall schedule look like?
What does the daily in-season schedule look like?
Is study abroad in the fall semester a possibility?
How realistic is a computer science major?
An engineering major?
Is there a major that most players choose?
How does the program handle players who may miss practice for labs or other classes?
Assuming I'm expected to apply ED, is there any possibility of renegotiating my financial aid package, should my family feel it needs more $ than is first offered?
How many players do you expect to try out for the team in the fall? How many of them have been recruited like me?
Do you have a JV program? If so, how often do players move up from JV to Varsity?
I know there are many more very important questions, but I'll stop there. Thank you for adding to this list if you're so moved.
