Harvard actually recruits athletes (unlike MIT). Their entire team was mostly international recruits (unlike our team which was mostly Americans). I heard rumors of low performing academic stats, but outstanding athletes there. [/quote]

what are you talking about. of course they recruit. 20% of MIT students play a varsity sport. they dont offer athletic scholarships, but that's not unusual for top schools that fully meet need. [/quote]

If you look at MIT's generally not winning record in D3 you'll understand these are not recruited teams of athletes. There are lots of athletes at MIT but most are not high caliber. [/quote]

you are making things up. just in last couple of years:

-  Women's "Triple Crown" in Track & Field and Cross Country

MIT became the first women's program in history to win all three NCAA Division III national championships in the same year: cross country (fall 2024), indoor track and field (March 2025), and outdoor track and field (May 2025)

- Women's Cross Country team won NCAA Division III National Championship in 2024

- Women's Indoor Track & Field NCAA Div III National Championship in 2025

- Women's Outdoor Track & Field won Div III National Championship in 2025

-  Women's Swimming & Diving won Div III National Championship in 2025 
The women's swimming and diving team won the program's first NCAA Division III

- Kate Augustyn is one of the best Div swimmers in memory. She won 4  national championships in and the MIT team won four relay national championships.  Swimming Career

this is just the women.

the men's program does well too. [/quote]

I'm really not making things up - understand this is D3, not D1. Winning against colleges such as Salve Regina University.

Again, I'm not saying this to be mean to MIT, but considering the prestige of the college the athletics do not match at all. In other words, there is little to no preference given to athletes in the admissions process. This information is directly from the coaches there. [/quote]
