<p>So, I was contacted by the CMC and HMC cross country and track coach for possible recruitment. I only ended up applying to Harvey Mudd. From an admissions perspective, was this a mistake? How much more weight, if any, does CMC give athletes than Harvey Mudd? I assume, given Harvey Mudd's specialized nature that they probably wouldn't care that much about athletes but I don't know for sure. I know several students who were recruited at CMC but shouldn't the same be said about HMC since their athletic departments are shared?</p>
<p>Indeed it is true that being recruited may help a lot in being admitted to CMC, but in HMC, I have not heard of anyone being recruited in (though there are a number of people playing for the sports teams). I could ask my friends who are on the CMS teams though.</p>
