This is exactly what our naviance looks like for many recruited athletes (especially certain sports) at top schools: SAT is hundreds of points lower than other accepted, gpa is near the middle of the class, and knowing some of the kids, not anywhere close to top rigor(one AP vs 7-9 for our top 20%). The legacies we know are not outliers on Naviance. Athletics is a huge boost and theHarvard study confirmed on average they do not have the same academics. However, Harvard and others need and want top athletes, so they can do what they want! Most graduate just fine.
