[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amherst is 40% athletes. How doesn’t that totally impact the ED numbers [/quote] 40% participate in sports; it does not mean they were admitted because of it. [/quote] Seems like an obvious point but it never seems to stick with these folks. [/quote] According to this article from the Amherst paper, there are about 20 walk-ons per year. Some walk-ons quit as they don’t get as much playing time. But if none quit, that would give a walk on percentage of about 14% (80/598, with the 598 coming from the OPE site for [i]unduplicated[/i] Amherst athletes.) https://amherststudent.com/article/faculty-votes-to-release-discuss-data-on-athletic-recruitment-policies/amp/ So 0.86*598/1898= 27% of a class is recruited athlete if we assume no walk-ons quit. However, if, say, half of the walk-ons quit, the recruited percentage climbs to 29%. NESCAC schools might have lower walk-on rates than some other conferences. [/quote]
