[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every one of these threads should request posters to specify whether the applicant is an athlete or not. I feel very annoyed by recruited athletes getting a boost. [/quote]

Cry me a river. You need to get familiar with the term "institutional priority".

Why? Because MIT is a business. They get to decide what is important to them and what is deserving per, their interests. They care about their brands, stakeholders, revenue, alumni donations, etc. and their priorities are in service to that. No seats are ‘taken away’ as they were never anyone’s to begin with. No one is entitled to a seat. One has to be a okay with system or look elsewhere. I get the frustration, but it is what it is.[/quote]

PP is telling you that promoting sports or academics hurts their brand.

Caltech dabbled in this idea and then rejected it. Someone looking for an top-flight engineer knows that a Caltech grad is a safer bet than MIT.

I think that MIT understands their brand value much better than the PP.

What would make you think that Caltech engineers are better than MIT engineers? I can say from personal experience that you could not tell the difference. They are both develop superbly trained engineers.[/quote]
