I was a passively recruited D1 athlete and was admitted to an Ivy, presumably based in part on my athletic ability (this was 35 years ago).

If you were "passively recruited" then your athletic ability likely had close to no effect on your admittance.

Same. Mine was recruited to HYP + never told anyone until it was announced at graduation.

My kids did get likely letters from ivy (2 different ones)
