[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what are the "numbers" that recruited athletes need to hit on the academic scorecard to get in to the Ivy+ schools?

At least 25th percentile? 50th?[/quote]

It depends on the sport and how good of an athlete the kid is (i.e., how much the school wants to recruit him/her). Not all recruited athletes are the same...for top recruits, test optional applies. Before TO, I heard of football recruits at H/Y/P getting in with a 21 on ACT. For less desirable recruits, the test scores will need to be higher. This also varies by sport. Some sports are filled with high income kids with high test scores (sailing, squash, etc.). Probably all those kids need high test across-the-board. For other sports (football in particular given how big rosters are and that the number of kids in the country playing football is falling), there's going to be way more flexibility. There is very little uniformity in college athletic recruiting from school-to-school, sport-to-sport, recruit-to-recruit. [/quote]
