[quote=Anonymous]Jeff Selingo talks about this at length in one of his books and there is a podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jeff-selingo-on-why-athletes-have-a-leg-up-in-admissions/id1648294970?i=1000593612603&l=es-MX A few things I remember - at the SLACs like Williams, recruited athletes make up 25%-30% of the class, so there is a massive advantage for predominantly wealthy, white kids. He also said that if you think of legacy advantage as a 'thumb on the scale', being a recruited athlete is an 'entire fist' on that scale. [/quote]
