[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so my kid is a junior athlete - ivy aspirations for 4 schools (Duke, Cornell, Brown, Penn), and has been told they have the talent - it’s a sport with measurable times, sooo, it’s legit.  Good grades T10% - and has been told a 1400 score is needed.  Kid hit 1180 with some prep in September.

Appreciate all on this site, but would really appreciate answers staying on topic and just commenting on the following question - with unlimited view on prep, can just about any kid get up to a 1400? don’t want views on feasibility of interest or handicapping kids odds on getting in, or asking about/commenting on the sport, kids focus on just these schools, blah blah - pls pls just answer the question if you choose to reply [/quote]
Duke and any school in the top 50 are way out in f league for someone getting an 1180. Even if they could get to 1400 , 1400 is not even close to the 25%ile pre-test optional. If kid got in kid would be in the bottom quarter by a lot and risk a mix of B/C grades. They would not be competitive for any major other than athlete -track majors, hence mocked by the majority of undergrads for being “dumb” comparatively . With so many small seminar discussion based classes this is a recipe for disaster and mental health issues.[/quote]
