<p>Harvard returns all 14 players on last year’s roster and signed six recruits for this fall. I don’t know what they’ll do with 20 bodies.</p>
<p>@gadad: Where did you get this information from? Can you please send me the link?</p>
<p>ESPN.com has a page for each Div. I team on its men’s college basketball board. If you go to the Harvard (or any other school’s) page, you can bring up last year’s roster as well as recruits for 2012, 2011, or several previous years. There were no seniors on the Harvard roster last season.</p>
<p>OK. Thanks!!!</p>
<p>no, 1890 is a bad score</p>
<p>There are definitely athletes at ivy schools with lower stats than yours. Once you are above the minimum AI (academic index) it is a matter of how much they want you for athletics. The more they want you, the lower you can be on the AI scale. Obviously, the higher your AI, the easier it will be for both you and the coach.</p>
<p>I’m confident that I do meet the minimum academic index!!! However, I have come to the conclusion that I should take the SAT again in October and do the SAT II’s in November and December. However, I won’t be able to apply for ED to Harvard if I follow this plan… I guess I will have to talk to Coach Amaker when I meet him this summer and sort this issue out…</p>
<p>if your SAT score is in for SCEA, that’s probably more important than your SAT IIs for your AI.</p>
<p>But don’t you need to have SAT II’s to apply EA/ED?..</p>
<p>This discussion has only focused on half the picture … yes, a prospectice bball player needs to meet the minimum AI index and for most recruits they need to have a typical recruit AI and not the minimum … to get one of the slots at the AI minimum you’d need to one of the handful of top sports recruits at the schools. In rough terms to play DI sports in the US an athlete needs to be among the top 1% of high school athletes playing their sport … so the second question is how good a bball player are you? To play at an IVY you need to be both an excellent student and a top bball player.</p>
<p>@3togo: Yeah, good point. However, I’m not too worried about whether or not I’m good enough to play because I think I have D1 skills and I have the resume and the stuff to prove it… Only thing left is for the coaches to see me play live (they have only seen me through videos and stuff) which will happen this summer in the various recruiting camps which I will be attending… However, I’m more worried about my SAT scores… If I do well in the SAT (2100+), then I don’t think I should have a problem getting recruited by Ivy Leagues…</p>
<p>my boy a few years back couldnt get into the top nescacs for d3 ball with an 1840: wesleyan, bowdoin, middlebury, amherst, etc, shut him down</p>
<p>but its a different ballgame since they cant technically recruit athletes, who have to be as academically qualified (or as close to it) as the reg students</p>
<p>he was also white and upper class, which didnt help his cause</p>
<p>increasing your math 70 points is a very realistic goal given your performance on the 2’s. you also seem like a sound writer who can get in the mid 700’s with a little practice. just take tests man- buy or borrow all the books you can, time yourself every couple of days, read the explanations for the ones you got wrong…youll jump up to the 2000’s no problem</p>
<p>I play football and I know one of my former teammates who plays football for Harvard had a score of 1890 on the SAT and a 28 on the ACT. My neighbor’s daughter who got into Brown had a 1860 on the SAT. Your score of 1870 will be fine for athletics as long as the coach really wants you, because the admissions office works with the coaches when it comes to which athletes they will recruit and accept.</p>
<p>@fisherman93: Thanks for the motivation!</p>
<p>@grizzman25: I hope so… Actually my score is an 1890 but just in case I think I’m going to take it again to be safe…</p>
