a couple of MIT soccer recruits from our HS who werent' even in top 10% of class. helps a lot if you're a girl.

MIT has a rifle team including a woman with a hijab from Palestine. Definitely not a country club background.

The number of kids who can open with A 750Mis the first hurdle. The 750M and good enough to play is a fairly high hurdle in many sports. In others like girls volleyball the pool gets a bit bigger. MIT is a perennial girls volleyball power along with JHU.

according to CDS,

2.4% of MIT admits submitting an ACT (31%) have a ACT MATH score of 24-29.
4.8% of MIT admits submitting an ACT have a ACT Science score of 24-29.

you guys act like they're never taking these kids. they are.

and they took a lot more during test optional cycles which is what these Yale recruits are from.

One of us has a MIT recruited athlete. The other person is you. I can't explain the 2.4% with an ACT of 24-29 but I would guess that those scores were ultimately replaced with higher SAT Math scores since 100% of the mat SAT scores were above 700. MIT will not accept someone that they do not believe can handle the Math.

you mean 100% of kids who submitted an SAT. which is 83% now ...

I wouldnt get too worked up about 100% when almost 1 out of every 5 students dont submit that at all.

I believe MIT requires that all applicants submit scores now. My sense is that not all student-athletes score a 35+, but I suppose I could be wrong.

To state what should be obvious, the odds of being both a standout athlete interested in playing at the college level and scoring in the 99.99 percentile on the SAT/ACT are slim. There may not be enough of these people to fill all the team spots available at top-ranked schools.

If you don’t believe there should be teams in the first place, why pay all the tuition money to the schools?

These stats are most recent and are from a test required year. 1 in 5 don’t submit a SAT. They may submit an SCT and 5% have an ACT, in science, under 30. 2.5% have an ACT in math under 30.

What are you saying? That in a test-required year, some still aren’t submitting test scores?

There is obviously a lot of overlap looking at the submission percentages. It is quite likely that a poor ACT score ended up as irrelevant because of a superior SAT score given that 100% of the SAT pool is 700 or above and MIT isn't accepting anyone that they feel cannot handle the Math. Anyone with a 24-29 ACT score for math would have had to provide alternative confimatory information regarding Math skills. Other schools maybe not but at MIT most definitely.

Nobody sends their 25 ACT if they have a better SAT. Nobody.

Also, it’s what they got on the test. The end.

They do, because MIT requires reporting all scores for all tests. Game set match.
