[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest DD’s best friend is a current junior. She didn’t have any ECs or awards of note, just a very high GPA with a very advanced course-load in math and science and 1580 SAT. [/quote]

Gender is a huge hook at MIT.[/quote]

No it's not. Being an athlete isn't either. I know, I was an athlete at MIT in one of the Division I sports. My coach has been there for decades and laments all the time about good athletes not having the academic record to get in. [/quote]

There is only 1 D1 sport…crew.  Sports like track and field may compete in large meets against D1 schools…but are still not D1 at MIT.

There is always a disconnect regarding athletes and acceptance.  Nobody claims MIT is accepting 1000 SAT basketball players like Duke…however, if you have high SAT and great grades and the coach supports your admission, your acceptance odds are 60%+.  It’s still not 100% like it would be at Harvard, but you don’t need any national awards or other incredible ECs other than your sport.
