The profile of the recruited athlete most likely doesn’t represent the norm. The athlete was a C band recruit (low GPA and test scores compared to the class profile), and although I don’t know how many C band recruits were admitted at Bowdoin, Amherst admitted only 12. It stands to reason that USNWR profiled the recruited athlete because he’s an outlier.
Having said that, I understand the point you were trying to convey. You’re rarely wrong, and it’s a valid assessment that a 3.6 GPA will not keep LNY from consideration at Bowdoin.

LeavingNY, I’m assuming that you’re a junior because the ED deadline for Haverford was in November.
By any chance are you applying to one of your ED colleges of interest through QuestBridge? All three participate in the QuestBridge program. So do Brown and Wesleyan. Both have numerous cross applications with Vassar.
