[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sports are also one area where merit actually means something. Colleges can't agree on whether they care about test scores but pretty much all but Caltech agree on getting the best athletes they can who the AO will admit.[/quote] No, Caltech also agrees. Just that their athletes have to be exceptional students (more so than MIT)...however, CalTech still needs kids that know how to play baseball at a decent level if they want to field a baseball team and they want the best possible player they can get (of course, even a really good baseball player with a 1580 will take Stanford in a heartbeat, so they won't waste time pursuing someone too good). So, the baseball kid with a 1580 SAT and some minimal ECs will beat out some kid with a 1600 and much better ECs and awards. Doesn't mean the baseball player will struggle academically.[/quote]
