[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What do you mean by proper stats? It is an advantage to be a recruited athlete period. A recruited football player can get in with lower stats than my engineering applicant who is not being recruited to play football. Which is kind of ridiculous considering how bad the team is - compared to Harvard, for example. Why should there be a prefernce at all? Like no one is donating money because of MIT football[/quote] Because sports are an institutional priority. Like all IP's, it may not be important to you, but it's something the university values and feels adds to the student experience. [/quote]

I hope you don’t complain about legacies or other hooks then. [/quote]
Why? Legacies have no control over their status, excellent athletes and musicians actually work long and hard and have talent.[/quote]

Yeah, the only hook I think is ridiculous is the legacy hook. They bring literally nothing extra to the school community. [/quote]
