Do you think any athletes score 1500 and above. No way. The 1350 -1410 is the average for ivy athletic recruits.

These colleges should be about academics not sports...if you dont score high on sat you dont go. It's not about black or white or brown or yellow..if you dont have the grades you go to a state college. Alot of athletes need to use there ties to count ,but throw a mean football.. shouldn't work that way

I agree, dumb athletes should not deprive a rock star student entry into these schools. Things need to be earned in this country, not given.

Please educate yourselves on the Academic Index used exclusively by all (and only) the Ivy League schools. It takes individual / team / and entire Athletic department GPAs and SATs in consideration before confirming a verbal commitment. The admissions have the final say. Of course an athlete will have a lower required GPA/SAT than a regular student but a good safe starting point is 1400. So yeah, you don't need a 1550 as an athlete but still need to be a pretty solid student.

PS. That's why there will often be a preferred walk on who will never play a minute but has 5.4 GPA and 1580 SAT. The team needs it to bring up their overall Academic Index.

The info I provided came directly from an Ivy League women’s soccer coach, apparently you know more than he does. 2 girls out of a 25 person roster had good enough grades to get into school while the other 23 did not. Athletes cannot compete with the rest of the student body and it’s unfair to bump great students out of a first class education all because an athlete knows how to kick a ball.

Being smart and being Ivy League smart are totally two different things.

So your saying football contributes to the 30 billion dollar plus endowment fund, when you talk about Ivy League, it’s all academics, not sports. The money comes in from tuition, donations and hard work from the administration all the way down to the students.

isn't the same thing the other poster said ? that a safe starting point is 1400, but that a great SAT/GPA of 5.4 and 1580 is a great advantage to bring up the academic index? Did that coach share with you what was the starting point ?

Everything you said is correct except for the unfair part. It might seem "unfair" that another student is a great violinist, computer programmer, or swimmer with "average" grades (1400 SAT) but that's what elite colleges are looking for. Very good, but not necessarily crazy good grades/SATs, but with a skill that the crazy great student can't offer (such as kicking a ball). Each individual skill strengthens the overall student body.

Sorry, but if you were told by an Ivy coach that it was "unfair" it was his nice way of telling you that your daughter was not good enough to displace a crazy great student, but that doesn't mean he won't be able to find another better athlete that is.
