[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Might be crossing sub threads here.  This is in response to what’s required to be a recruited athlete. [/quote]

Athletics isn't that important. The coaches pretty much get who they get. It's D3 and the athletes need to be at the median.[/quote]

100% percent false. Recruited athlete will take you to a 50-65% chance depending on the rest of your material. You typically need to be over 1500 with a 750M to even enter the conversation and 770M is preferred. You might see a few in helmet sports dip below. Someone carrying a near perfect GPA with high test scores while being a strong enough athlete to play in the largest D3 sports program in the country is a pretty rare animal and MIT wants them; badly.[/quote]

With high test scores. Like a 1550. I don't know anyone who played sports that wasn't an absolute genius.  Also, if you can't hack MIT, you absolutely 100% do not want to be there. Kids don't actually want to wash out of school.[/quote]

I know the MIT recruiting details from a recruited kid at my DCs school. The kid just made it all look easy. Captain/Starter on a nationally ranked team, easy going, well liked, and nobody had any idea that they were taking nothing but AP classes until they were announced as NMSF. They are the type of kid that any school would love to have.[/quote]

Yep. This is what I am saying. MIT doesn’t have to dip low to recruit athletes. [/quote]

Agree, and athletes with strong academic chops do exist much to the dismay of some.[/quote]
