[quote=Anonymous]Another data point, similar to above, my DD was mid 1400s and top 10% at a top high school (but not Big 3), with high rigor. Was offered spot at top NESCAC. Went to Ivy instead. Ivies are all over the place in terms of academic standards. She did not have any issues. A couple observations. First, some coaches are clueless about admissions. Usually, these are the newer coaches. But also, some of these coaches did not go to top schools themselves and college admissions is like a foreign language to them. Second, course rigor is important. If you are a talented athlete, the admissions office just needs an indication or two that you can handle the work. Good SAT is the easiest thing to rely on, and going to a top high school and taking tough courses without falling apart works as well.[/quote]
