<p>Just wondering,</p>
<p>do Ivies still use the academic index for normal applicants, or is it just for athletes?</p>
<p>It depends. According to A for Admissions (a book by a former Dartmouth Assistant Director of Admissions), they still do.</p>
<p>Yes, it is still used for athletic recruits, and I believe only athletic recruits.</p>
<p>Even if its not still officially used, it’s a reasonable way for you to gauge your academic standing in regards to the rest of the application pool. </p>
