Yes, those factors play a part of admissions considerations, but the driving factor is that there are so many qualified applicants for limited spots. The Class profile for the entering class of 2023 for Yale shows 12% legacy and 26% Asian. While there are some Asians who are also legacies, there are probably still twice as many Asians as there are legacies in the class. https://admissions.yale.edu/sites/default/files/2023classprofileweb.pdf . Recruited athletes make up 12-14% of the class. To not apply because you don’t have a hook is ill advised. To also apply to matches and safeties is good advice.
