I don’t know how much MIT recruits athletes because the bottom line is you have to have the rest of the package, sports alone will not get you in. I think being an athlete (depending on the sport) helps in the admissions process because that would be a less common EC for applicants to MIT. I am sure music is a very common one.

Molliegym - what instrument do you play in your rock band? Did you apply early? I pretty much did have all three and got in early although I did not contact the coach until after I was accepted and my art was not in the form of a supplement just addressed in an essay.
