<p>Hello CC community,</p>
<p>I'm trying to decide where to apply early, so I need to gauge how much admissions boost I will receive from a Harvard sport (non-revenue generating). The coach has very few LL's to give out (1-2) and has said that my receiving one is unlikely. However, he has offered to give me one of his 4-5 additional spots for support. He will meet with his admissions liaison soon to introduce my file and get a pre-read. He has said that my chances at admissions are very good. However, I want to know if any of you have experience with recruits who don't receive likely letters. I realize that I will have to wait until December 15 to wait for my SCEA decision, unlike someone who receives a LL. But, other than that distinction, how do my chances compare to those of an athlete who receives a LL (and is a virtual admit). </p>

<p>Thanks for the input!</p>
