Goosegg: Wow, MIT is asking a lot. Do folks have any info about other D3 schools that take this approach? When schools are taking 10% or fewer of their applicants, it’s awfully tough to advise a kid to turn down a guaranteed place at another college in hopes the admissions office likes his file. MIT could fill its class a few times over with kids who have perfect grades and 1600 SATs, as could a number of other high academic schools. Is there a list somewhere of institutions that don’t give the nod to otherwise-qualified athletes?
