A kid in our town received offers to play football at Cornell, U Chicago, JHU, Wesleyan, and Carleton this fall and just committed to Middlebury. I don't want to post his name here, but he goes to St. Ignatius and you can find it on social media. [/quote]

There is a girl at Middlebury (athletic recruit) from our school who turned down MIT support along with Williams, Amherst, and many others including three schools in the above list. She also multiple D1 offers (no Ivies that I am aware of). She was also in teh top 10 in her class and had the academics to be competitive anywhere. Her parents are PE type so I would bet that academics were a priority.[/quote]MIT support doesn't mean you're getting in[/quote]

It means a 50-66% chance which is a huge boost and much better than a 3% chance. That makes athletics as good of a hook as any at MIT so getting it is a big deal. [/quote]
