<p>MIT really only “recruits” for one sport: rowing. Whatever they are saying above, ^^^^^^^, MIT really does recruit for rowing. By “recruit,” I mean you still have to be a A student, etc. etc., but MIT rejects boatloads of A students. If you are an A student and you row, you stand a much better chance. My observations are based on personal experience of kids who got in, even with discipline problems, but could . . . ROW!</p>
