[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This info is pretty fascinating if you look at the breakdown of test scores relative to legacy and athletic recruits. (And we all know that athletic recruits at Princeton mostly = privileged white people doing sports like crew, lacrosse, etc.):

And yet parents of athletes always seem to maintain on this site that they are just as qualified, would have been admitted anyhow etc. Delusional.[/quote]

Recruited athlete college application is its own thing.  For the D1 schools the students literally sign their contracts on Nov 1st, long before they could even possibly have been compared with non athlete applicants.  Even for Princeton and the other Ivies, the colleges send them "likely letters" before applications are due, then the students submit EA/REA/ED whichever early process the school has and have an over 90% admit rate.  The athlete's themselves are so confident that they will be accepted many of them post in advance on social media during the summer of their senior year . . . [/quote]

Say what you will about athletes, but this is not accurate. You can only get a liklely letter after you apply. They look at the application before issuing one.[/quote]

I know a kid that got an offer after their season junior year to UVA girls soccer.  So I think it's can happen before application[/quote]
It happens way earlier. Most of the top lacrosse girls get them aug 1st prior to their junior year [/quote]
