Does international sports ranking help?

Not for me, unfortunately, but one of my friends is applying to Harvard this year, the first person in our school who has ever applied to an Ivy. She has decent everything that I know of, but she is an excellent equestrian, nationally and internationally ranked, and dedicates much of her time to the sport. Assuming grades, essays etc. are decent, maybe not spectacular, is the horseback riding enough to get her in? Just curious…we’re excited at the prospect of someone applying out of state. Sad, but true…haha.
