[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are more than one discussions like this about MIT but it has multiple people talking about the substantial help being a recruited athlete has:

MIT is much more like Amherst, Swarthmore, Williams, Wash U, Chicago, Hopkins etc. than it is CalTech when it comes to recruiting athletes. I actually don't thing that is a bad thing but it is funny how people think MIT is just "different" in that regard (maybe it is because CalTech has taken such a unique approach). You still have to be a great student and a very good athlete, which aligns with what MIT wants anyway. Most of these top schools are screening out the vast majority of athletes they've looked at by the time their junior years are done.

MIT recognizes that the athletic contributions of a recruited student athlete hold meaningful merit while they don't view the luck of being a legacy in the same way (it isn't considered by the AO).[/quote]

Soccer player at DC's school was recruited by MIT coach. While a very good student, he was not strong enough to pass the pre-read.[/quote]
