Did your DC apply to a LAC with ED (or ED1)?

Conservative number was 30% recruited athletes. Athletes are 45% of freshman class, due to attrition. Williams has very few walk-ons. Most of those few who walk on are already athletes in other sports and staying in shape with another sport. That is why, for determining athlete numbers, you only take the “unduplicated” count. Williams has 680 unduplicated athletes: https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/early-decision-enrollment/ |

I welcome doubling down on details: the more details, the worse it looks. Hint: Williams has a fly-in program. Got to count slots for those! |

Right, so recalculate with 35% recruited athletes, and double the number of ED round first-gen, donor, VIP, faculty, georgrphic diversity admits. That would be more accurate… |

what about donor, legacy VIPs, fly-in program admittees not falling into the above categories? How many? 20-30? |

| I'm not recalculating anything. You asked/doubled down on source for 18 QB and I provided it. YW! |

That’s not a source. It is a news article. CDS will still likely include them in ED. |

No. Please go down a rung for ED2. |

It also depends which LACs consider legacy.
LACs that consider legacy: Williams Bowdoin Swarthmore Middlebury Haverford Vassar LACs that have eliminated legacy: Amherst Wesleyan Carleton Pomona/Scripps/CMC/Pitzer Colorado College Occidental (Legacies typically apply in one of the ED rounds. So keep that in mind when calculating odds.) |

* I forgot to add Harvey Mudd in list of 5Cs. None of the 5Cs consider legacy anymore after change in CA law. |

we get it - your kid wants to get into college so you're telling every other parent that their kid should go to State University, but this isnt how this works |

nope. at no school is qb included in ED. it's a separate process and it's thrown into RD numbers. |

And other first-gen Pell grant types applying ED. My guess is double or triple that. Another point: recruited athletes don’t get major scrutiny and they are all basically econ or bio majors or CS. That means non-athletes, in both the ED and RD round, get even more major scrutiny. It’s a dirty little secret. Male unhooked Econ or CS applicant? Good luck! Athletes already got first dibs… Female biology or pre-med? Please, not another one… |
