<p>The Ivies have rules about how many athletes with lower academic stats they can accept…so being a recruited athlete can help you get in, but they won’t take anybody who they don’t think can do the work, and they will only take a few at the lower end of their range. The OP is probably in a range that they could consider.</p>
<p>But it’s important to emphasize again: the Ivies do NOT give athletic scholarships (or any other kind of merit scholarship). No matter how good an athlete you are, if your parents make $300,000 per year, you will pay full price. Period. They do give very generous need-based aid, including to some people with pretty healthy incomes.</p>
