All from https://ope.ed.gov/athletics/#/institution/search Including total enrollment numbers (but data might have turned over since) |

Agree have heard higher numbers from Amherst but this is govt data — assume it’s reliable but not sure |

Even 35% puts Bowdoin towards the top of these lists.
Anything over 30 is so crazy to me. |

Let’s be honest: anything over 15 is crazy. |

38% of men at Amherst.
Over 40% of men at Bowdoin |

I totally agree. Why there are more athletes than musicians or mathematicians, I’ll never understand. I get how a big football team or basketball team might bring the student body together, but for sports that don’t even attract a viewership of peers? Lose them |

Keep in mind these D3 athletes are overwhelmingly white. So a white, unhooked male from an urban area with educated parents? Your bucket is tiny, tiny, tiny. Of course, females don’t have it any easier since domestic applicants are probably 60-40 female (international applicants skew male). |

Or just have sports on a walk-on basis and no huge admissions preference. |

Amherst is only 38% domestic white students. Since athletes there are 70% or so white, the vast majority of white males there are athletes. That is not a good thing — for anyone. |

Athletes are great! And they are top students! Live a little |
