Does anyone have a link to or an article about the Academic index and Ivy recruiting that is really thorough and fairly current? Thanks in advance
Please share if you locate it, thanks!
I found one on prep scholar but for some reason it wont let me post it. Its dated July 5th 2018 so google –
I feel like based on the new rules that the timeline in this article may not be accurate.
Oh you mean rules for contact in recruiting? --yes maybe. I am more concerned with a really comprehensive discussion on the academic part–specifically the AI
@center my D20 went on an unofficial junior visit and the AI was discussed. This coach said he is provided a target AI for which he must meet the average. He can take rock stars with lower AI in exchange for higher ones.
The actual calculation is a mystery as it’s not clear how they account for rigor, especially given where I know your son attends. My kid’s college counselor (previously worked at an ivy) said that the actual calculation is done by admissions and takes into account a variety of factors. I knew and he reiterated that testing is weighted more than GPA.
@Center the ebook and website by tier one athletics have the best overall coverage of Ivy recruiting that I’ve seen. It’s possible some things have changed regarding the AI but I don’t know if that’s something most recruits will need to know about. Ivy coaches are pretty good at knowing their internal processes and communicating academic info to recruits.
Following link will give a pretty thorough review of the AI. https://www.mka.org/uploaded/college_counseling/Publications/AI_Guidelines_Worksheet.pdf
I’ve always considered the Tier One ebook to be the leading resource on this, even if it’s a few years old (though they may update it for all I know).
