[quote=Anonymous]Recruited athlete is the biggest hook. They have a separate admissions process, an earlier timeline and often, lower academic standards. It is a hook, not because the student did not work hard for it and earn it, but because schools value sports above other ECs. Why? Money. Without the collegiate sports industrial complex, an outgrowth of the US sports industry, sports wouldn’t be so heavily valued above all other ECs. It’s that weight schools give the recruited athlete that is unearned. Like being a legacy. A neighbor’s DC1 was recruited and knew where they were going before their college’s application was even open for other students. Their DC2 isn’t being recruited and the neighbor is just shocked at how different the application process is. So easy for the recruited athlete, they say. So much more complicated if you aren’t one.
