Believe it or not, athletes do have to get in with decent grades. Though some sports have lower bars than others. I know of two elite athletes who switched sports once they were accepted. Each a star in their sport, they each were granted a scholarship at the U for the other’s sport, and then “the coaches decided to switch the players.” Ha ha ha. (Yeah, you guessed it, the sport with the lower grades bar was football)

Decent grades but not up to par. I know a couple of hockey players and football players who attended Harvard. They would have gotten into Boston College but no way Harvard with their grades.
