<p>OK So apparently there is this thing called an Academic Index and I was just curious what some accepted students' AI's were. To figure out your AI click Academic</a> Index Calculator - Ivy League then fill out the info (takes 2 secs) and submit. I'm testing to see if this is an accurate system....</p>
<p>227 and AI rank is 8 out of 9</p>

It's not.</p>
<p>However, if you really want to use it you have to replace one subject test with your writing score since Penn requires the new SAT with writing.</p>
<p>fwiw, my rank is 6 out of 9 and i got into huntsman..</p>
<p>Well Penn only requires 2 SAT2s anyways so its fine and it evens out to 3 "Subject Tests" if one includes writing...this is just a little experiment and I hope many people will find it interesting...</p>
<p>228, 8 out of 9 (Wharton)</p>
<p>229, 8 out of 9 (Duke)</p>
<p>if i put in my old numbers, i get a 9/9, 232</p>
<p>233, 9/9 (wharton ed!)</p>
<p>222, 7/9, got in wharton</p>
<p>221 7/9 (cas)</p>
<p>231 9/9 Cas</p>
<p>220, 6/9 (Wharton) (but going to Duke)</p>
<p>239 (9/9), Wharton, (unfortunately I don't care for Wharton much. My grades suck now)</p>
<p>One flaw I see in the system:</p>
<p>You get a higher A.I. if you are valedictorian in a large class size than if you are in a small class size. Logically, this makes sense because you are in a smaller percentile; but the more elite, well-known private schools will tend to have smaller classes than publics which may be poor performers academically - and we all know going to a prestigious high school helps an applicants profile.</p>
<p>Of course it's flawed/not perfect, but I'm sure there's a decent correlation, but whatever, **** can happen</p>
<p>235, 9/9 Accepted CAS
I think once you have above an 8/9 (maybe 7/9?) you won't get rejected based on academics.After you hit that point, they'll look at everything else about you.</p>
<p>Here to show that it is not all that accurate.</p>
<p>211 5/9 Accepted to CAS</p>
<p>First I only had two SATII so I put in my WR section as an SAT II.</p>
<p>I think it would be much better if only included SATs. There are just way too many confounding variables associated with class rank: size, course rigor, private/public, course load, courses offered, etc.</p>
<p>Your class rank only provides useful information when you look at in context with the whole school. It is meaningless to compare the rank of student A with student B. A class rank of 5/50 at an elite, private school could be much better than say 1/1000 in a urban, public school.</p>
<p>This is why applications come with information about the type of school the applicant goes to.</p>
