Hi [Athlete’s Name],
Choosing the right universities is one of the most important steps in your recruiting process. A well-structured longlist will help you target schools that are a good fit for your athletic, academic, and financial profile.
Your list should include three types of universities:
Reach Schools – These are highly competitive programs where your athletic or academic qualifications may be slightly below the average recruit.
Likely Schools – These schools are a strong fit for your profile, meaning you have a good chance of getting recruited.
Safety Schools – These programs are less competitive and should be ones where you are confident about both admission and recruitment.
Athletic Level – Compare your stats and skills with the current roster and program level.
Academic Fit – Ensure you meet the school’s admission requirements (SAT scores, GPA).
Financial Considerations – Research scholarship opportunities and tuition costs to find realistic options.
📌 Next Step: Add your longlist to College Pipe and start preparing to reach out to coaches.
