Besides that, why would a school worry about what sport you played, it will have little to no influence on life decision. Sure leadership and team experience is there, but you can get that in any club.

Basically, by "well-rounded" they mean they don't want nerds. And btw, I wasn't talking about all Ivy leagues, you could probably get into a few (UPenn, columbia, cornell), but what I said applies to MIT, Caltech (yes I know they aren't Ivy), Princeton, Harvard, etc.
