Can you get into Harvard without playing a varsity sport or no sport at all?

I am someone who is in a lot of activities. Do you think I could get into Harvard without playing a varsity sport or just a sport in general?

My daughter (H 2018) did exactly that. I’ve read here of other applicants who did it also.

What were your daughter’s extracurricular activities in highschool?

Of course. While many applicants did play a sport, many others did not. Sports is nowhere near being a “make or break” for Harvard.
