<p>From the small sample of my d’s recruited athlete friends there are 2 realities:</p>
<p>1) sports was the full proof way they got in (without sports it would have been iffy like any top academic applicant faces)
2) they all had higher gpa’s and sat’s than the median non athlete entering hyps…6 athletes in this sample including my daughter. all had SAT’s above 2200, 8+ ap’s, 3.7+</p>
<p>If athletes to hyps and other ivys have lower stats than non-athletes, like the article states, it’s not from the sport I’m familiar with.</p>
