[quote=Anonymous]Let me join the conversation as someone who actually has a clue. In order to understand how athletic recruitment and admissions to the Ivies for athletes you have to understand the Ivy League "Academic Index". It is a system that assigns index numbers to potential recruits based on their SAT scores and their class rank. GPA's are not included and have no weight. Only the SAT scores and the Class Rank percentile are considered. The universities must balance their entire incoming class of athletes against the Academic Index. And to make it even more complicated, the Academic Index distribution varies by university such that Penn, for example, can admit more athletes in the lowest Academic Index band than can Harvard. If you want to understand the Academic Index, you can look it up on the Internet. Or you can blather on about that which you have little understanding.[/quote]
