For MIT athletic recruits.

<p>whats up guys, hope you all end up accepted like i did.</p>

<p>I have a question for you all. My high school has a very competitive team (state champs 2 out of last 3 years) and i was blocked through my high school career by somebody recruited to play D2 this upcoming spring. So i never really had varsity playing time until my senior year(this spring), meaning i had nothing to be recruited by.</p>

<p>Assuming i dont blow it this season, my coach as well as i think i have a legitimate shot at making a d3 team. What would you guys think towards trying out here with no prior recruitment process?</p>

<p>i was deferred:/ i expected this result because ten other kids applied ea from my school, and my stats were weak for my region (mid-atlantic) </p>

<p>congratulations alittlemisguided! i strongly recommend that you try out for the sport of your choice. if you love the sport, you might as well try! contact the coach so you can get a stronger picture of the program. good luck in the process!</p>

<p>@alittlemisguided: I don’t know much about sports at MIT, but it seems to me that if you’re willing to put in the time, you can almost definitely make it onto the team. There are probably some exceptions.</p>

<p>I too was deferred. Disappointing news but still not down and out. Coaches were also disappointed soon after I informed them on Saturday afternoon. I am one of the top recruits for my sport. Fortunately, some players on team now were initially deferred, and then accepted during RD - so coaches and I are still hopeful. Have great offers elsewhere, but would love to have residence in Boston area for next 4 years. :-)</p>

<p>During my recruiting season my junior year I considered MIT; after talking to the coach I was told even if I was a top performer, unless you have a 4.0 and at least 8 AP classes do not bother applying (seemed a little harsh!) Needless to say, it was off my list… all is good, not my ideal school anyway.</p>
