[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is being recruited by JHU.  Was told by the coach that they want to see 1500/34 and top 10% of HS class.[/quote]

Can confirm.

Yes low-level athletics they will want high academic performers [/quote]

Hopkins has low level lax?

Hopkins lacrosse has academic standards much more similar to the ACC schools than the Ivy League schools (i.e. the floor is more like 1050 on the SAT vs ~1300 for the Ivies).  The standards for their D3 sports are far, far higher than they are for lacrosse.

[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. [b]Before TO, I heard of football recruits at H/Y/P getting in with a 21 on ACT.[/b] 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]

I can't imagine someone with a 21 ACT making the AI minimum for the Ivy League, much less the higher cutoffs in place at HYP.  [/quote]
