University of California freshmen applications hit new high

[twoinanddone]

Recruited athletes are run through the usual process with no special consideration (though the sport counts as an extracurricular, of course). Those who are not admitted through the usual process are considered for the spots reserved for recruited athletes

I don’t think so. I know plenty of kids who were recruited and did not go through the regular process. Do you think Missy Franklin (Cal) or Snoop Dog’s son (UCLA) just sent in applications and hoped to be accepted? I think their applications are in a special pile.
