[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is rhythmic gymnastics something they have at MIT? If not, why would they care that much if she was a national champion in it?[/quote]

For the same reasons Stanford loves Olympians in sports they don't compete in:

- Prestige of student body
- Publicity factor
- Extraordinary achievement in one discipline [i]often[/i] leads to similar success in another[/quote]

But for MIT, it’s mostly just the last one. It shows an incredible amount of Grit and an amazing work ethic to be the best in the nation at something.

Grit plus work ethic plus brains is the secret sauce. [/quote]

Other PP are who knows about the school first (!!!) hand.  There is not rhythmic gymnastics at MIT.  *IF* MIT keeps the gymnastics program (which they probably will not, but this is not publicly known), rhythmic gymnastics would be part of a floor routine. When gymnastics there was Varsity (no scholarships), rhythmic gymnastics might matter, but that is no longer the case.  What is the date of this rhythmic gymnastics student's attendance? [/quote]
