MIT Chance as a Recruited Athlete

<p>I’m not sure if it’s true or not, but I believe I read somewhere on here (that already tells you how valid it is) that at MIT specifically the coaches have far less influence over the decision on admitting an athlete than, say, Princeton because of the fact that they place little emphasis on their sports teams. But what do I know? I’m no admissions officer. Regardless, you look to be “in the range” for the school (your SAT is a little low, but not horribly low) and, depending on your athletic ability, could potentially be a recruit.</p>
