What exactly goes into the academic index as it pertains to swimming? Traditionally, it was act or sat and two subject tests and GPA. I’ve heard from a few families that the subject tests are not necessary. I’ve also heard it’s gpa, independent of course rigor. Please clarify.
Bumping.
I don’t think there is a specific AI for each sport though.
The academic index in the Ivy league is one third unweighted gpa or class rank if available, one third SAT/ACT, and one third SAT2s. If the school does not require the SAT2s, then it is one third unweighted gpa/class rank and two thirds SAT/ACT. Course rigor does not play into the calculation of the academic index.
You need to remember though that the AI is just a tool to quickly determine whether someone is recruitable. Course rigor is going to have a lot to do with whether a kid is ultimately admissable.
