> It's clear that you didn't get that and thought a SAT score + straight As should be enough

Where exactly did I express that? The other MIT admits from that year I know that aren't privileged sailing athletes from Connecticut, got 2350's on their SATs and performed at Carnegie Hall!



So sports are bad but music good ? Admissions are not based on your taste.


I have genuine difficulty putting sailing in the same category as basketball, track or soccer (for all of which I know recruited athletes in some way or another).
