[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know of several high school athletes that committed to Ivy League schools just last week. They’re not two weeks into junior year! I understand recruiting and all the advantages that come with it, but I’m struck at how early it’s happened. No junior year grades yet, no essays, they probably didn’t even have to take the SATs. [/quote]

This,  they go by the index for the team.  my kid goes to a DC private and was told by

I student might say "I am committed", but Ivy offers their spaces through the likely letter process in the fall of Senior Year.  Those kids are lying.  [/quote]

Not for womens soccer.  Young folks can "verbally commit" to any school. And yes, they will likely get in if they keep playing well whether or not they take SATS.  My dd never wrote one essay, took the ACT for fun and was in at an IVY with a 28. [/quote]

Which school?  The players who I know at Ivy's still had to get a 1500 SAT.  One was struggling (think she ended up with a 1480) and couldn't pass the pre-read[/quote]

This isn't true at all.  There are no minimum SAT scores for Ivies since they go by an index score for the teams.  There is a kid from DC's school who is playing a sport at H this year who got below a 1500.  This kid "committed to the process" at H in early Fall of junior year.  [/quote]

This.  I know a 1200 Ivy football recruit.  (2023---100% sure-- he is a family member).

Try Ivies go by the school's overall index.  My kid goes to a DC private and we were told that the recruitment athletic standards are lower for kids from his school because they bring the SAT scores that balance out the lower scores from more competitive athletes.  [/quote]
