Is there a minimum class rank for football athletes, or only AI

[gibby]

<p>Ivy league schools do not publish their athletic teams AI, nor do they publish their campus wide AI of non-athletes, so everything is really conjecture. That said, the Harvard Crimson recently did a survey for the class of 2017: <a href=“The Harvard Crimson | Class of 2017”>http://features.thecrimson.com/2013/frosh-survey/admissions.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>

The average self-reported unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale was 3.94. Fifty-four percent of students reported a perfect 4.0, and the lowest score reported was a 3.0.</p>

<p>Freshmen reported an average composite SAT score of 2237. The reported average subject score was consistent across the three sections, with an average of 748 in the math section, 746 on writing, and 744 on critical reading.

<p>If I’m doing the math correctly, inputting a 3.94 unweighted GPA with SAT scores of 748, 746 and 744 to the AI — and making a guess at the SAT Subject Test Scores (I used 740 and 750) the calculated AI of the Harvard’s class of 2017 would be 228.</p>

<p>As the survey probably combined recruited athletes and non-recruited athletes, it’s difficult to break out AI scores of each group. Assuming the lowest GPA reported (3.0.) was probably from a recruited athlete, the average academic student’s AI could be several points higher than the average of 228 — 230 perhaps, given that more than half the class had a perfect 4.0. So, maybe you are correct @Sherpa or maybe Harvard’s recruited athletes AI’s are in the 215 to 220 range. Unfortunately, we will never know.</p>
