<p>I just played around with an AI calculator and I’m shocked that the reported average AI scores at HYP are as low as they are. I’m not referring to the averages for the athletes, but for the overall student body. By your typical CC standards 220 isn’t that impressive. If someone posted a “Chance me for HYP” thread saying they had a 2100 SAT, a couple 750 SAT IIs, and a 3.6 GPA, they be derided. But they’d have an AI of 220, the reported average for those schools.</p>
<p>But, you might ask, aren’t those recruited athletes pulling down the overall averages?</p>
<p>They are, and I did a quick calculation to account for that,and it looks like the average non-athlete AI would be around 223. What’s a 223?</p>
<p>One combination is 2100, 750, 750, 3.8.</p>
<p>I don’t know if HYP could fill their incoming classes with perfect scorers, but surely they could fill those classes with 230+ AI kids. But they don’t.</p>
<p>Apparently they mean it when they say they look at essays, recommendations, and ECs.</p>
