[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is a D1 athlete at a T25. Yes, he had SAT score above the 75th percentile for that school and 4 plus gpa with 10 AP’s. Happened to be a stellar athlete to boot. Same for another kid whose stats and rigor I know on his team. It’s incredibly difficult handling academics and 40hours of sport/travel a week, so having a solid academic base/study habits/intellect is essential.[/quote]

That’s very odd your D1 athlete even took the SATs. My son knew he was playing somewhere on September 1 of his junior year. Any kid capable of D1 knows early that they are playing . Why bother with SATs? After sept 2 it was just a matter of where he was going to choose and who has the best package. My son did graduate with a 4.4, but that’s just his work ethic. It was pretty apparent by 10th grade justice into college was going to be his sport. [/quote]

Depends on the sport. My Senior is being recruited just now.  Only 1 of the 7 spots for 2024 have been committed at two of the schools.  Most of the coaches have said they are still working on the 2024 class.[/quote]

Oh- and my son had straight As at a tough school and scored a 35 ACT on the first try. Scored 5s on all of his AP exams too.[/quote]

The non-lucrative sports, especially at high academic schools, don’t skimp on grades.  Their athletes on those teams have a profile nearly identical to regular admits.[/quote]

I am not sure soccer is considered a lucrative sport...but you are seeing more and more failed professional European athletes populating US college soccer teams, including high academic teams where they are applying TO.

Also, listen to the Yale lacrosse coach talking to potential recruits.  Says you need to be in top 10% of the class, but more than 1/2 the team is scoring below 1500 on the SAT, with many scoring 1200s and 1300s.[/quote]

How do you know the Yale lax player stats?

How do you know that?[/quote][/quote]
