Of course athletes and employee kids get breaks. Same is true for some large donor kids. Top prep schools in Chicago should favor UofC and those in Boston should tip for Harvard.

For our Texas high school (last 10 years):
UofC – 14 apply per year; 12% admitted; 1530 avg SAT of admittees; 4.32 WGPA
Harvard - 21; 6%; 1493; 4.47
Stanford - 29; 5%; 1565; 4.55
Columbia - 17; 7%; 1574; 4.55
N’Western - 22; 12%; 1537; 4.42
Duke - 29; 12%; 1578; 4.52
Yale - 18; 7%; 1530; 4.47
Princeton - 18; 7%; 1546; 4.51
Rice - 26; 21%; 1531; 4.42

Some of the Harvard admits have been athletes. Same for good chunk of others but I believe football and basketball get more weighting than other sports.
