[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIT recruits and they do pre-reads in that coaches make you submit your stats so they can tell if they're enough. which is what a pre-read is.

I dont know who said MIT doesn't recruit - everyone is anon - but one person is. I'm not the only person saying MIT recruits either.

And some MIT coaches do NOT support more than they need. This is coach by coach at MIT and at several colleges.  [/quote]

Someone said that MIT admissions does pre-reads.  They do not.  MIT coaches absolutely look at stats, and take them into account when they decide whose application to support.  They have a sense of who is more or less likely to get in.  But even with that support, they bat about .500.  Many recruits get turned down.  But ADMISSIONS does not do pre-reads.  The poster who said they did was wrong.  If you want to use the word pre-read for the coaches looking, I don't know what to say.  That's not the way the term is generally used in athletic recruiting.[/quote]
Yes they do, if they are trying to be fair to the kids. DC had to submit a very detailed application in the MIT pre-read phase. Athletic liaison who works with admissions has it reviewed. [/quote]

Athletics reviewed it.  The PP said that admissions did a pre-read.  Your kid’s pre-read was done by athletics staff.

Did the athletics staff promise him a spot?  [/quote]
Only kids who passed the pre-read with admissions were invited on official visits and offered coach's support. Of course there was no promise which is why DC chose another path.[/quote]
