Harvard Admissions

In any college admissions process, grades, high school courses, and test scores play a significant role, and it's no different in the Ivies. However, there is one difference, and it's that good grades and test scores aren't enough to get you into the Ivy League. Applicants looking to impress the Harvard admissions staff need to find a way to distinguish themselves from the large pool of applicants that applies each year. The reason that student athletes have a better chance of being admitted is that they are judged not only on their academic abilities, but also on their potential athletic contributions. Schools have thousands of spots reserved for athletes each year, and if you can get one you're in. Essentially, if you have athletic ability, you can compete against a smaller pool of applicants, in effect, gaining an advantage over the traditional Harvard admissions process. This is not to say that athletes get a pass, far from it, simply that if you are an athlete, playing your sport in college could be a fantastic path for you to follow if you're interested in attending an Ivy League school.
