Columbia University Women's Soccer Recruiting

Start with Tracey Bartholomew, the head coach. The women's staff is small, with one assistant coach alongside the head coach, so the head coach almost certainly reads recruiting mail personally. Copy the assistant so the whole staff sees the same message.

As general context, NCAA Division I is the highest level of college soccer. D1 programs may offer athletic scholarships, and most D1 rosters are largely settled a year or more before a recruiting class enrolls. Columbia University sits in the middle of its division by Massey rank, which is where well prepared club players who reach out early tend to find real conversations.

Columbia University is a mid sized school on an urban campus with about 8,973 undergraduates. At a mid sized school the women's soccer staff typically works with admissions but does not control it, so have your transcript ready when a coach asks. The acceptance rate is 4 percent, and the middle SAT range is 1510 to 1580, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
