recruitment is a boost in admissions in even non-revenue sports. it is not consistent each year, but it is a boost.



Saying that I don’t know about it and then continuing with an empty statement (along with anecdotal evidence) doesn’t show anything, NJDS. And I didn’t deny the above statement, but qualified it with many additional factors, because I know it isn’t as simplistic as you try to make it seem.



but most varsity sports at Stanford have very few walk-ons.



Again, how is it that you know more about this than I do? Where is your source on that? (In my experience over the past few years, there are quite a lot of walk-ons. Anecdotal, yes, but equally valid to your “my hs had this many athletes admitted and then my high school had this many athletes admitted.”)
