How much will being an athletic recruit help in the admissions process?

My older brother was an athlete at Vassar. He wasn’t recruited, but he picked it up while a freshman. However, judging from his teammates, it seems as though being a recruit does give people a boost. Saying that though, I’m assuming you’re also qualified academically, even if you’re not an academic all-star. Also, your hurdle time seems fantastic in comparison to the school, so the coach will probably make a big push for you.
