So am I understanding correctly that you think revenue-generating sports, the athletes should have 85% greater chance, but other sports, it should be an extracurricular on par with musical accomplishments, leadership in academic clubs, etc?
I would be curious to see how much of a difference there is in GPAs between recruited athletes in non-revenue-generating sports and students who have demonstrated significant talent/accomplishments in other extracurriculars that they will continue in college. The accomplished musicians who will continue to participate in band/orchestra, the ones who had the leads in their school plays/musicals who have already reached out to the college/university about that, etc. I have always assumed that these types of students are also getting accepted with slightly lower GPAs than kids without that level of accomplishment in extracurriculars.
