[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top Academic D1 means the Ivies, Stanford, Duke, and Hopkins. No way in hell those schools are going to let in a player who can’t get at least a semi-decent score (1350 minimum) on the SAT. [/quote]

Happens more than you think, they are called legacies. Sometimes, it's just who you know or your family name. Future president. This Harvard man's essay was incredible. I can see why they let him in.

So you’re talking about the .1% of the girls lax population where the younger sister of a current D1 player at a top academic may get special consideration from the same school? Hardly a sample size to claim this “happens more than you think.”  Just about every top-tier academic D1 interested in our ‘23 asked for her scores and said 1350 was the expected SAT target. One said 1400. Coaches at schools that went “test optional” said if no score is submitted the transcript needs to be spotless with mostly / all APs jr and sr years. And even then they still desire multiple SAT attempts to make the application as strong as possible. Scores still matter, folks. [/quote]

And after the Varsity Blues scandal, top academics are hyper focused on playing it strictly by the book in making sure recruited athletes are thoroughly vetted as part of the admission process. Can’t speak to what may have happened in the past. But suggesting that these places are using recruiting slots to accommodate favors in light of the scrutiny they are all under is ludicrous.
