[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a couple of MIT soccer recruits from our HS who werent' even in top 10% of class. helps a lot if you're a girl. [/quote]

The number of kids who can open with A 750Mis the first hurdle. The 750M and good enough to play is a fairly high hurdle in many sports. In others like girls volleyball the pool gets a bit bigger. MIT is a perennial girls volleyball power along with JHU.[/quote]

according to CDS,

2.4% of MIT admits submitting an ACT (31%) have a ACT MATH score of 24-29. 
4.8% of MIT admits submitting an ACT have a ACT Science score of 24-29.

you guys act like they're never taking these kids. they are.

and they took a lot more during test optional  cycles which is what these Yale recruits are from. [/quote]

One of us has a MIT recruited athlete. The other person is you. I can't explain the 2.4% with an ACT of 24-29 but I would guess that those scores were ultimately replaced with higher SAT Math scores since 100% of the mat SAT scores were above 700. MIT will not accept someone that they do not believe can handle the Math.[/quote]

you mean 100% of kids who submitted an SAT.  which is 83% now ...

I wouldnt get too worked up about 100% when almost 1 out of every 5 students dont submit that at all.

I believe MIT requires that all applicants submit scores now. My sense is that not all student-athletes score a 35+, but I suppose I could be wrong. [/quote]

These stats are most recent and are from a test required year.  1 in 5 don’t submit a SAT.  They may submit an SCT and 5% have an ACT, in science, under 30. 2.5% have an ACT in math under 30.

What are you saying? That in a test-required year, some still aren’t submitting test scores?[/quote]
