[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, tons of recruited athletes with that profile at MIT. [/quote] That's not true I was on one of the championship teams and my coach frequently and openly said he had very little influence on the admissions process.[/quote] The 25th percentile at MIT is a 1510. When I say athletes can get in with a 1520, I’m saying that a 1520 is plainly good enough, it’s in profile, but standing out with a 1520 is hard without a hook. Being recruited by a coach is a hook. No, MIT is not like other schools where athletes get in with 1300s and are then steered into the softest possible majors. If 1/2 recruited athletes get in at MIT, I can certainly see why a coach would grouse that he had very little impact on admissions. But at the same time that’s a huge boost over the general public where the admissions rate is 1/25. And if you went to MIT, I know you can do the math on that, even if your ego doesn’t want to.
