[quote=Anonymous]I'm the one with the daughter who went to MIT and was an athlete. Maybe 4-5 years ago is too way back? I have a kid in this year and it doesn't feel too different. Anywho - my daughter was waitlisted at HYP, Penn, and Dartmouth. She had been waitlisted early at MIT but then was accepted. Since Ivy Day was after that, it was fine, but otherwise her best option would have been BU with nice merit. I think athletics played a part, for sure. I was there when she had conversations with the coach. I also think we have to realize these applications are being reviewed by young people on the other side of the desk. Outside of the athletics, there's a lot more randomness than we all believe. And inter-office politics. Which coaches just work better with admissions, etc. I encourage my kids not to take this personally - the wins or losses - because there's merit sure but there's luck too. [/quote]
