[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wharton unhooked is impossibly hard given athletes admitted there. [/quote]

athletes are distributed fairly evenly among undergrad schools with SEAS having the least based on percent. Wharton has about 10%[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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

They make up roughly 20% of ED acceptances.[/quote]

Not all athletes are recruited.  Percentage of ED athletes are lower than that.[/quote]
