<p>You’re only hope – ONLY HOPE – is if you can play D-1 American football at the top 5 BCS level or better. In particular, if you are a field goal kicker with impressive stats at or above the 30 yard line, then you will move near the top of the pile. Your Academic Index will be marginal, but you will get in if you can make a difference in . . . SPORTS!! That is the dirty little secret of the Ivies: they love love love athletes. So, get out and start kicking the ball!</p>
