Mit athletes get no admissions boost whatsoever from
Coaches. Yeah, admissions gets a notice who the coach supports but 2/3 of those kids still won’t get in. The 1/3 that do are because they are qualified. No one unqualified is getting into MIT no matter what your athletic abilities are.[/quote]
They absolutely do get a boost. The acceptance rate among coach supports is substantially higher than even the acceptance rate of similarly qualified students without coach support. That's the whole reason why coach support exists - to get students who could have done fine at MIT but wouldn't necessarily have gotten in to instead get in in order to increase the strength of the athletic team.

The only prestigious school with no special preference for athletes is Caltech, which also recruited students (albeit with less of a boost to recruits than even MIT) until one or two admission cycles ago.[/quote]
