Athletic prowess will help an otherwise highly qualified student at many very competitive universities stand out from equally qualified students and gain admission. It will not generally overcome severe academic deficiencies, except at universities that value athletic reputation more than academic integrity. I’m not an expert on Harvard admissions, but I doubt you’re in the running.
