<p>I don't know if anyone can help me cause it seems like almost everyone on this site is like Harvard crazy kid types (no offense to anybody).</p>
<p>But say I'm a varsity athlete in high school and I want to cont. in college.</p>
<p>I'm not sure how many kids on this site actually participate in a NCAA DI/DII/DIII sport, but if someone did, would their chances of getting into the school increase?</p>
<p>Does a coach have some kind of power to sway admission officers?</p>
<p>I mean I understand if you have horrible grades and want to get into Harvard. But say your grades are decent, enough would you have a better chance of getting in because you'll be participating in a varsity sport for their school?</p>
