<p>I don’t know about the other ivies/top schools, but Harvard is pretty forgiving. I’ve received several letters from them about playing football. Here is what one of them said.</p>
<p>“Dear <insert my=”" name=“” here=“”></insert></p>
<p>You have been highly recommended to Harvard University as a prospective student/athlete. As a starting point, we are looking for great players who are in the top 20% of their class, and who have scored a minimum 1700+ (24+ ACT) on their SAT’s. To allow us to follow up on your recommendation, please complete and return the enclosed questionnaire as soon as possible."</p>
<p>I didn’t fill out the questionnaire as I have no desire to play college ball.</p>
