The IVY league has an AI band they use so they are out IF his numbers are what you say. Do you know what he scored on his ACT or SAT? Duke did admit a student with a 3.0 UW gpa and 21 ACT score but that was the lowest…so not out of reach if he is capable of bringing up his gpa. Now that would also most likely mean he would have to be a highly recruited athlete.
