The Ivy League very tightly regulates who can be offered a "likely letter " tip in Admissions to student/ athlete recruits who a no more than 2-3 standard deviations away from non- athlete Admit AND they stagger it to apply the strictest limit to those applicant student- athletes who's SAT/ ACT and GPA are 3 STD off.

For example, if typical Harvard admit ( non-athlete recruit/ non- legacy, non URM ) has a 1570 SAT or 35/36 ACT ( yes, Athletes still have to mandatory show scores even if non-athletes don't) AND a 3.9 GPA , then Harvard is only allowed 1-2 who are 3 STD off of that for its FB team and then maybe several more who are 2 STD off of that and the greatest number offered Admit who are just 1 STD off of that.

It is titrated of course down for the less popular sports. For example, Crew or Ice Hockey or FB may be allowed more Athletic tips for HS seniors who are 3 STD off of average Harvard Admit, but Track is only allowed those who are 2 STD's or 1 STD off [/quote]
