Well, I think there are a lot of decent musicians in MIT’s applicant pool. On the athletics side, about 20% of the student body plays a varsity sport, but certainly not all of those athletes were recruits, and not all recruits are admitted.

If I were a betting person, I’d bet there are more decent musicians than recruited athletes in MIT’s applicant pool, though of course those groups aren’t mutually exclusive.
