[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]they're not just winning their conference, they're winning the entire D3 championship. Sure, Salve Regina, I guess, but also NYU, Tufts, U Chicago, JHU, Wash U, CMU, CWRU, Emory, Washington & Lee, CalTech, all the WASP schools, etc.

they are WINNING those championships.

MIT won't offer a likely letter like some D3 schools, but they'll do an academic pre-read. [/quote]

A pre-read is when admissions looks at a file and tells a coach whether the student will get in with their support.  MIT does not do that.  Students apply knowing that [b]it's a 50/50 shot.[/b]  They do not know at the time of application if they will get in.

On the other hand, many other high academic schools that don't offer scholarship, like DIII's or Ivies, require students to commit 100% by applying ED.  So there are pros and cons, from the perspective of the student athlete, to both models.  [/quote]

yeah, that's a pre-read. same as many other schools. is it a guarantee, no. but 50/50 is a huge hook, you have to admit. FWIW, we've had 5 kids from our HS go to MIT in the last 3 years. 4 were athletes. [/quote]
