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]

Your kid was unqualified?[/quote]

My kid was as qualified as the pool generally. [b]But most of the applicants to HYPSM are qualified and can do the work.[/b] Why they get admitted is their hook. At MIT, this is often MITES  and being URM in recent years. At MIT, this is often being a female. And at MIT, this is often being an athlete.

My kid was 2 of those things and I'm sure it's what made her get admitted. She says that. But she did just fine while there so she was clearly qualified. the proof is in the pudding. but plenty of applicants are qualified. [/quote]

Most Stanford athletic recruits are not as qualified as the general admitted class.  I think this is also true at HYP.  MIT basically gives you a hook like getting a good math award.[/quote]
