HELP PLEASE! separate sports recruiting list in admissions

<p>I read somewhere that whenever you apply to a school and want to get recruited for a sport your application is put in a separate "stack". Even if you don't think you have a chance to get recruited athletic-wise (say, you're almost there, but they could take even better people) would your chances of being admitted increase? what would happen in this situation?</p>

<p>anyway, thanks for any help!!!</p>

<p>PS. i also posted this in the parents forum</p>

<p>from what i hear there's only a recruiting pile during the ED/EA application process, but of course you chances would improve if you have potential of being recruited.</p>
