For those of you who recruited to ivy school.

<p>Can you P.M. me your stats and ECs besides the athletic achievment?</p>

<p>May I suggest that your scattering of data isn't going to reveal much for you because it's a very small sample and biased sample (people who populate CC and are helpful enough to take the time to send you their data).</p>

<p>Are you inquiring because you see yourself as a potential recruited athlete and are wondering how you stack with other Ivy athletes? Then go over to the "college admissions" forum and post that question. You'll probably get good replies there.</p>

<p>dcheng...are you an international student?</p>

<p>Recruited athletes must take the SAT. I believe the Ivy schools prefer to see scores +700. The four recruited athletes that I know had scores above 700. Their grades were stellar. Three of the athletes had other ECs such as ocmmunity service but if you are living in Asia, the schools will not expect ECs outside of the sport.</p>

<p>My experience with Ivy recruited athletes is similar to cheers'.
Very high SATs and very high (3.8, 3.9+ unweighed) grade point average.
I also know a student ranked #1 in the world in his sport - a sport played at Ivy schools - who did not get into any Ivy school because his grades/scores were not high enough. He was a B student (3 point average).</p>

<p>The best recruited athlete I know is a friend from high school. She was told she needed a 1200 SAT by an Ivy. She didn't get it and ended up going to another top D1 school. Her GPA was probably around a 3.5.</p>

<p>There is a football player (not the QB) at my S2's high school who is choosing between Harvard and Yale and the guy is scary smart but will never play Division I football, just a real good high school player at very small never heard of public that only sends 1 or 2 a year if that to the Ivies ( --lot of Ivy parents though with shallow pockets) I'm no expert on athletic recruitment but seems like you should contact the coach if you are wondering if a sport can help your potential admissions possibilities if your grades and test scores are reasonably comparable to what would be required. The Ivy League isn't the Big 10 or the Pac 10 and they really are looking for scholar athletes not athlete students.</p>

<p>are you a junior or a senior?
because if you're a senior, its probably too late anyway</p>

<p>Here lies the formula. It's a combination of your SAT or converted AP and your class rank.</p>

<p>recruited athletes are not required to take the sat. act will work as well.</p>

<p>woops, meant to say ACT, thanks wbow.</p>
