Yeah, this is the biggest myth about Penn athletic recruiting. My kid was talking to the coaches for baseball and they said they had 3 Wharton slots for 9/10 recruits. Wharton is 25% of the undergrads at Penn, so that's roughly 25% (because you can't recruit 2.5 players...they round it to 3).

Considering athletes are 10% of the student population, that means they are generally 10% of each Penn school though I do believe it is skewed towards CAS and it's less than 10% for SEAS.

But Penn ED acceptances include ALL athletic recruits which takes up a huge percent of the ED spots. Even if athletes are only 10% of the final enrolled class, they may make up a much larger percent of the ED acceptances. Also lots of legacy admits in ED.

That’s a different point than athletic recruits mostly going to Wharton.

They make up roughly 20% of ED acceptances.

Not all athletes are recruited. Percentage of ED athletes are lower than that.

That is true…though really only applicable to CC sports like fencing.

All the major sports are 100% recruited in that roster changes really don’t allow for walk-ons anymore in the vast majority of sports (it also reduces rosters in nearly every sport).

It’s hard to really understand the walk on stats. In a sport like crew for example, I think all the kids are recruited but it does have a decently high quit rate of recruited athletes and then walk ons join.

I don’t think the crew coach says I will only recruit 5 kids and leave 5 open slots for walk ons. The coach will still recruit
For all 10 slots.

Does Penn have applied math?
