<p>Harvard does not seem to give many likely letters for SCEA athletes, although apparently there is some number greater than zero.</p>
<p>I think it depends on the sport, how desperate the coach is to lock up the athlete.</p>
<p>My son got a likely letter from different ivy, never seemed a possibility for daughter at Harvard though she is great student, probably more “recruitable” athlete than son. Who knows.</p>
<p>Obviously you have a lower chance of admission against athletes that get likely letters (they are all but in), but as I said they don’t appear to be plentiful.</p>
<p>Time for me to back off CC, let things play out as they will.</p>
