[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Multiple ivy athletes have gone from our private with 1180, 1200, 1260, 1410, and they submit scores. The coaches want the scores! They have always allowed lower scores for athletes: the academic index for the team and the school is what matters, not the individual. [/quote]

See the same with athletes at our school for Harvard, Yale, Brown, Penn and Dartmouth. 
Also know recruited athlete for Yale that did not submit scores. They committed last year as junior and never took the  SAT. 
But those kids are thriving - academically and athletically so it clearly isn’t an issue. No I don’t know their grades but couple have come back to our school to talk to current seniors and they all see happy and well supported at their schools. They are currently Freshman, sophomores, and juniors so clearly not washing out.

Also to the PP that said this season is done - that is not true. I know a senior who is doing 2 Ivy recruiting visits in January. [/quote]

the reverse is true as well.  I know a very good football player who has a 4.0/1560/top extracurriculars/height/size who hasn't been able to get an Ivy offer despite trying quite hard with recruiting camps, etc. Clearly the Ivies don't care too much about SAT scores or grades on their football teams because they are going with great football skill over very good football skill with top stats. He does have a ton of high academic D3 offers.[/quote]

boo hoo - so unfair that the ivies aren’t interested after all of his hard work![/quote]
