[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would be reasonable SAT score for Ivy athletes that public/people are okay with and stop complaining about?
Did Harvard trial reveal grades and SAT scores of their athletic recruits?  I suspect that the stats are pretty high, but maybe not.
Given recent varsity blue scandal, admissions dean and coaches will likely be scrutinized and looked at closely of their athlete recruitment processes and SAT/gpa of their recruits in court.

I don't know what would please some people. A score of 1450 is at the 95th percentile. That is a great score. Someone at the 95th percentile is beyond the minimum needed to do well at any Ivy. [/quote]

At most ivy league schools, a 1450 is around 25-30th percentile[/quote]

And? They will still do well in their classes and earn a degree. [/quote]

So could all the kids with 1560 SAT scores that got rejected.  Hey if it doesn’t matter to you, it doesn’t matter to you. Just pointing out the accurate barometer here. Athletes are simply less qualified academically. [/quote]

You are right, I don't care and I don't have an athletic kid. Your barometer doesn't matter because you and others who care about this do not run admissions at these schools. The school sets the barometer and doesn't see 1450 as less qualified because admissions doesn't evaluate applications that way, you do. [/quote]
