One note, I wanted to point out that the strong ECs in 体育 contributed a lot to the admission to those top schools; In other sides, those kids might just simply enjoy their 体育-- the two events might be co-incident, not necessiraly cause-and-consequencr relationship.
Most of our public high schools are 学习一般的高中, actually--
you will be assured if those schools admit students, and they will find ways to let students out-- are you aware that some top universities only have two grades-- A and B?
Plus, some could graduate in 3 years and the other can do it in 6 years-- colleges could even get more tuitions and fees.
not sure in top1% or 2%; but the difference of GPAs within top
is said to be within 在小数点后面的二位数 比如说，4.50 is #5; 4.51 is #4– not really big difference— plus, some difference is due to being avoid of 4.0 classes, like music. so it does not really matters.
小城升学今年变天了！
6个ED 成功MIT 和藤校的，其中四个华人全是体育生：游泳到D1 level, 篮球的，跑步的到了state qualifiers; 滑冰的也是经常参加比赛，但不知道什么水平！一个墨衣也是跑步的，一个美韩混血是debate! 历史上从来没有的事情！因为过去多少年来，包括ED and RD, 一年一共才能贡献四个或五个去 ivies 和MIT的.
今年一个靠数学USMO qualifier 申请的，ED落单了! 听说GPA也是top 1%. 很优秀的ABC, 希望RD有所收获。
但小城前几年有靠math 竞赛去MIT 的 （过去十年一共二个）。
总是，条条大路通罗马！只有找到适合自己的路子，就能得到属于自己的niche!
updated:
3 of 4 of ABCs in the cases above are in top 2% (GPA); The other one was not clear as the person was not social with the other three.
of their sports/athelete/game time to academic studies-- try to minimize using caculator to every math problem
after staying in the academic field for twenty years-- not saying that US kids
有体育EC 和只有体育是有很大区别的。能不能说说这里几个不在top 2%里？ (昨天有人说这是UT CS的门槛）。
A majority of ABCs (or many many ABCs!) can pass academic bars!
It is true-- 3 of 4 of ABCs in the cases i mentioned are in top 2%; The other one was not clear as the person was not social with these three.
bottom choices
人家说的是学业排前的有体育EC，又没说是纯靠体育recruit。
be different from the prevailing views in this子女教育.

could not stick to their initial principle anymore under the current pressure
MIT is the one with the most consensus of being prestigtious but the least disputes in this website, at least for ABCs.
该服的时候就得服。MIT体育特招和其它大学很不一样的，学习不好，体育1%也没有用。
The new comparison might lead to a different conclusion.
earlier recruters went to MIT mainly through Math O in our town; but this year, not-- it means, AO taste changed.
be similar
人需要学习的东西很多，书本知识是很重要的一部分，但不是全部。还有很多别的东西，需要在课堂外学习，体育也好，文艺也罢，都是作为完整的一个学习的一部分。
看见这些小中文武双全，难道不自豪吗？
are typically top 2% (GPA) (extensive discussion in this website last night). ABCs admitted to MIT are typically top 2% plus the strongest EC--
the performance of your evaluation is most likely based on academic (professional) merit, but not on sports, isn't it?
although many talented ABCs might be qualified for MIT, but not able to get in for more different reasons/lucks.
竞赛生大部分不是1%。再说美国的1% 也不意味是学霸会读书吧。
你拿这个与人家体育好得多的比，其实更说明录取公平啊
MIT的娃, 有时有交流障碍, 办个事情总是搞不定
不过有个MIT的黑人娃, 非常优秀, 是我雇过人里面比较看好的
it could be a good thing for most people--

楼主 does not necessarily have bias for and against this-- he/she just presented facts
真的体育特别特别好的，一般不会risk MIT. 他们可以去其它top D1, 藤校，录取有把握。体育有D1水平但去M赌一把的，真的是学霸以及对M真爱。这样的体育娃，在那里不会被虐的。
MIT大概10~15%，不超过20%的学生学习很厉害，其他的学生最多是小藤理工科学生的水平。从MIT毕业也不难，MIT第一年不给成绩，只有过和不过，MIT鼓励学生一起做作业，也就是抄作业是允许的，这在藤校是不允许的。以数学为例，MIT学生的平均水平肯定比大藤的学生好，因为大藤里有体育生，艺术生和文科生，但是和大藤的理工学生比，MIT学生就差了很多
indeed this is the one in our town.
仅仅是top 2%进MIT体育生是远远不够的。很多都是前几名的。
往年总共也就一个到两个。

The key thing is that the one is D1.
