Maybe this has been answered - will you have 4 years of all core courses including a 2nd language. I don’t see Chem or a language, but admit I could have missed it.

I am sorry you have been going through this past year with a health issue. As you know, it will be important to take care of yourself and college will require you to be healthy - with or without your sport. Exceptions don’t come readily in college.

I don’t believe you have named your sport and it will be important to understand what the season looks like and practice + travel commitments. My daughter is just wrapping up 4 years as an Ivy crew athlete and it is a lot - there is zero time to be out sick and her commitment is year round. Sick and injured kids get cut and others have left the school/team due to bad academic fit and/or health plus mental health issues.

You need to have open and honest conversations with each coach (plus they & admissions will see your attendance records) and also your current coach to understand if you are being realistic and with your doctor to understand the progression of your illness/injury and what the next year looks like to heal properly.

Not sure if your sport is only an Ivy sport, but if not, I would highly encourage you to expand your school reach to find the best fit academically, team fit and care available if you for your health.

If you are highly ranked your grades may be okay - but there is so much more to a pre-read and then turning a positive preread into a visit, then an offer + likely letter - these are their own big steps - with getting a pre-read being the easiest step - in my opinion.
