College Admissions

Athletic Goals and Academic Readiness Work Together

College recruiting is only one part of the journey. Student-athletes must also understand academic admissions expectations and prepare strong college applications.

Admissions Guidance

Two Separate Decisions, One Shared Plan

As a former Admissions Coordinator, the founder of College Bound Student Athletics understands that athletic opportunity and college admission are separate decisions.

A college coach may be interested in an athlete, but the student must still understand the school's academic requirements and admissions process.

Important Message

Being Recruited Does Not Automatically Mean Being Admitted

Athletic recruiting and academic admission are related, but they are not the same process. Admission decisions are made by colleges and universities. College Bound Student Athletics provides education and guidance but cannot guarantee admission.

College Bound Student Athletics provides evaluation, education, planning, and recruiting guidance. College admission, athletic recruitment, scholarships, roster placement, financial aid, and playing opportunities are determined by colleges and athletic programs and cannot be guaranteed.
