Esp if you're a female or athlete![/quote]

Mit athletes get no admissions boost whatsoever from
Coaches. Yeah, admissions gets a notice who the coach supports but 2/3 of those kids still won’t get in. The 1/3 that do are because they are qualified. No one unqualified is getting into MIT no matter what your athletic abilities are.[/quote]

It's not a huge boost, but it's a tip and with so many ultraqualified applicants, that tip can determine who gets in.[/quote]

No one gets in unless qualified. No one. Coaches know ther hands are tied and tell athletes that: no guarantees, no true prereads, no commitments, and if you want to get security, we understand but go elsewhere. They also tell students they will want a 1580 sat with a minimum 790 in math. [/quote]

100% incorrect. My kid is a recruited athlete at MIT, why do you keep posting stuff that you have no clue about?[/quote]

Recruited? Or
Admitted? This info is directly from a long time coach there who recruited my kid (kid stopped interacting after understanding there was no guarantee). Teammate committed to swim at JHU when the same thing was told to her. Bird in the hand. So this came from swim
Coaches at mit. Who told you differently -
Identify the MIT coaches. [/quote]

Mine recruited, admitted and currently attending so I’m limiting some things.

Female, her HS team was nationally ranked and she had multiple D1 offers (not Ivy)
780/780 so test scores were fine
4.6 GPA, 12 or so AP classes if I recall correctly mostly 5’s some 4’s

Coach said that they were supposed to tell her 50-65% chance of getting in but the coach also said that they didn’t see many rejected with her academics

Coach started talking seriously only after she gave them her SAT score which was the summer after her sophomore year. Coach asked for her junior schedule at that time and asked if it was the hardest available. Never asked for any additions or changes.

But you are glossing over the fact that they wouldn't even talk until the test scores were in. That tells you exactly what you need to know. Sports do absolutely nothing. [/quote]

Are you dense? Your definition of “sports do absolutely nothing” is strange at best.

Imagine two qualified female candidates from the same school: Student A is the best in the graduating class; STEM focused, top test scores; a dancer. Student B is also a strong student, but not in the top 10 percent of class; top test scores; an athlete.

If I tell you that Student B got accepted, would you still argue that “sports do absolutely nothing”?
