<p>Ahh, no. DD accepted to Dartmouth - definitely no sports. Daughter of a friend accepted to Yale, played a little softball in junior high and 10/11th grade, not recruitable. Val from 04, accepted to Harvard, may have played some sport in high school, but not as a senior, not to my knowledge, and not recruitable.
Of course recruited athletes get a little boost - that's what they mean by "recruited", but I don't think it is necessary.</p>
