[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]11:34 This is just plain wrong. I personally know the parents of two Ivy athlete recruits, one from the DC area and one from out of state, and their SAT/ACT score thresholds were lower. It was discussed by the coaches, the pressure to attain [b]the threshold [/b]is fierce. Your child might be in college with athletic recruits from DC area schools, but does he/she discuss their test scores? One recruit who hesitated at an offer was told by the coach that she was preferred over another candidate because her scores were higher. And they just made [b]the cutoff[/b].[/quote]

11:34 here. I don't quite get your points. You mention there is a threshold/cut-off but you don't say what it was. I've heard of these thresholds too, but unless the threshold was 1800 and not  something like 2100, I don't see how it is a "lower" threshold. Also, you don't mention specific SAT scores in your example about the recruit who was preferred because of higher scores -- so are we taking 1800 being preferred over 1500, or is it more like 2300 is preferred to 2100?

Re my DD's experience, DD said several of the athletic recruits are NMSSFs (PSATs). That's enough for me to suspect their SATs are pretty darn good, too.[/quote]
