SUMMARY</p>
<p>C. Athletic Recruitment</p>
<p> Class of 2009 has 211 recruited athletes (compare to 188 in Class of 2008)</p>
<p> Explanation of Academic Index and how applied for recruited athletes; slightly different and more complex formula used for football players</p>
<p> Academic Index is formula that takes into account athletes standardized test scores and high school grade point average; recruiting rules govern the range in which an athletes AI must fall in order to be accepted</p>
<p> E.g.: Maximum AI is 240, and as a group, all matriculating recruited athletes must average within one standard deviation (13-15 points) from the mean AI of the entire class (214) so, at least 200.</p>
<p> Ivy League recruitment rules applied uniformly to all institutions but different schools may have different AI (Harvard, Yale and Princeton have a higher AI than Dartmouth; Brown and Cornell have a lower AI)</p>
<p> Bottom line: recruited athletes are athletes of national/international/Olympic caliber and must basically be good students with respectable standardized test scores.</p>
