<p>How much of an advantage is it if one is recruited for athletics Division 3?</p>
<p>When JHU says "recommends" three SAT subject tests does that basically mean "require." I'm planning to take only two and I want to know ahead of time if I should take a third one.</p>
<p>I heard that for Asians ED does NOT help that much, is that true? Their reasoning is that because Asians typically have high SAT scores and high GPAs and realize that there will be a greater volume of them for the RD option and so they reject the Asians in ED or waitlist them.</p>
<p>Well, if you're "recruited" then you're "in" right? Like what's your question? The advantage is that you freaking got accepted ;)</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm with you on the "recommends" part--I think the SAT II's does provide an edge if you do well. I don't think it'll kill you if you don't take them, but taking them probably makes you look more competetive. Yeah, so JHU "recommends" 3 tests, going by what YOU believe, it "requires" 3...just take another one, doesn't matter what it is: Chem, Physics, Math I or II, US, Language, etc.</p>
<p>I think Asians do have a hard time getting in EARLY, but sometimes, especiall ED, if you're good enough they'll take you regardless, if yu feel that JHU is right for you, just go for it :)</p>
<p>Maybe I'll see you at JHU in a year or so...</p>
<p>Being recruited for a DIII sport unquestionably helps in admissions--it is a good hook---but DIII coaches don't have the influence in admissions as would be true for DI sports. DIII athletes must be academically competitive to be admitted regardless of their athletic abilities.</p>
<p>Except for underrepresented minorities (which would be a plus factor), I don't believe that one's ethnicity plays any role in ED admissions.</p>
<p>Recommended means just that. SAT IIs used to be required but no longer are. Of course, if you do well on them, they might help.</p>
