@Harvard NCAA self-study

The broad findings of the analysis show that both the athletes and non-athletes admitted by the institution have excellent academic credentials.

Harvard is comfortable with these small differences between the admission profiles of its student athletes and the profiles of students in general, given the unusually large time-commitment associated with students in consuming extra-curricular activities such as sports, music, or dance at a national or international level.
