Athlete recruitment definitely helps(see [The Eye : Ivy League Hustle](http://eye.columbiaspectator.com/index.php/site/article/ivy-league-hustle/)). Hell, they even extended the ED deadline a whole week for Owen Langley because he missed it! If you have decent(read: B average in honors classes and 1300+ SATs), and are being recruited, you have practically a guaranteed acceptance.
