What non-athletes get likely letters? The ones that HYPSM will battle one another over. Yes, each season a few hundred of those exist. These are the types that in 4-5 years are Rhodes and Fulbright scholars.

In 20+ years, I’ve interviewed only one out of some 250 interviewees. Frankly she was quite noisome and I wasn’t sad when she turned down my HYP’s offer for another HYP college. Four years later, she was a Rhodes winner. Not a surprise either.
