How much does being a recruited athlete help at ivys or top schools like Georgetown, Cornell, or Dartmouth?

[DramaMama2021]

Based on your other thread you appear to be a current senior. EDIT: I MISREAD THE OTHER THREAD. APPARENTLY YOU ARE A JUNIOR BUT ARE PREDICTING YOUR S2 JUNIOR YEAR GRADES, WHICH CONFUSED ME.

Are you currently being recruited? I will let others with more experience chime in, but I believe it is late to enter the recruiting process, especially at the prestigious schools you seem to be targeting. EDIT: THIS IS MOST LIKELY INCORRECT IF YOU ARE IN YOUR JUNIOR YEAR.

Best of luck to you. I hope you get the advice you need here. There are definitely schools that would be good fits for you interests… they just might be a step or two down in prestige from your current list. APOLOGIES FOR THE EDITS AND MISUNDERSTANDING ON YOUR CURRENT YEAR. Thanks to @cinnamon1212 for bringing to my attention.

Do I stand a chance with a relatively low GPA [3.35 or 3.55] at ivys and Georgetown?
