<p>Ok being recruited by MIT means fairly little until you get that acceptance. I talked to the coach about possibly being recruited by MIT a few years ago and he sent me a long email. I ended up deleting it because I crossed MIT off my list. I didn’t want to go to MIT after I did more research about what I want to be. Here are some of things he noted. </p>
<p>-You need to have high SAT scores, preferably over a 700 in each section.
-You need to have high SAT subject scores, again preferably over 700.
-You need to be around the top 5% of your class. </p>
<p>Those were just the academic requirements. He stated that even with those marks, the decision is not up to him; it’s up to admissions. That 30% mark that another poster stated is true. The coach told me that a lot of the athletes that he recruits end up getting rejected or waitlisted.</p>
