You obviously don't know how admissions to Ivy League (or any selective university) is done. You can't "just" be admitted on a sports platform. That can be your way to stand out, but your grades, SAT scores, etc still have to be at an appropriate level for a university like Columbia. Not necessarily top of the top, but someone with a B average or a 1200 on the SAT wouldn't slip through just because of sports. Neither did Dylan.
Absolutely. There are no athletic scholarships in the Ivy League. Being on a team like wrestling can help someone get in, maybe the equivalent of a boost on the SAT between 150-200 points. There may be a very few Columbia athletes who got 1200 but they would exceptionally rare and not wrestlers lol. I would be surprised if he had less than 1300 on the SAT and probably in the 1350-1450 (92-97 percentile range). The average at Columbia is just over 1500.
