<p>Does anyone know what the academic requirements are for ivy league tennis recruits? Similar to track?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I don’t really know, but I’d expect you’d need an AI around 210.</p>
<p>Where? CornEll? Harvard? </p>
<p>Erveryone agree AI for tennis is much highrr than for track?</p>
<p>I would imagine so, due to all the smart kids in that particular sport. At our high school, the tennis team always won the highest team average GPA trophy.</p>
<p>As always, though, everything depends on how good you are both academically and athletically relative to who else they’ve got interested in their school. So give it a try.</p>
<p>I’m going to an ivy for rowing. (I would think similar academic requirements)</p>
<p>Stats:
2180 SAT
high 600’s SATIIs
GPA: 4.2/3.2
Not sure rank–I would guess top 10 or 15%</p>
<p>Honestly the best way to find things like this out is to contact the coaches of the schools you’re interested in.</p>
<p>^^^theGFG is right - a lot depends on the athletic/academic capabilities of those going through the recruiting process at the same time. Also, the better an athlete you are, the more wriggle room there will be with the academic stats - BUT having said that, you have to be in the AI range, regardless - just the better athlete you are/more potential the coaches see, the more likely you are to be able to have grades/scores on the lower end of the AI scale.</p>
<p>As a warning to other students, it’s not just about the AI at Ivy League students. For example, I play golf and my numbers were strong enough on paper (2340 SAT with perfect math/reading sections, 800 Math II, 770 USH, 730 Physics, 4.3 weighted GPA, plus the hook of having taken Calculus III honors at a university as a junior), but because my unweighted GPA had some dreaded C’s in French and Chemistry (3.5 unweighted), none of the Ivy admissions offices would allow the coach to give me a spot (I am also Asian, however).</p>
<p>I was told my AI was “very high” (if somebody would like to tell me how it’s calculated, I would appreciate it) but unfortunately, the individual grades weighed me down.</p>
<p>The moral of the story is that the individual grades are FAR more important than the AI. The AI is just another hoop the coach has to jump through.</p>
<p>Just email the coach. S/he will know whetehr you are recruitable or not. There are too many variables here: your athletic level, your school, your course selections, the competitiveness of the ivy in your sport. (That’s why contrary to golfdude, I know enough kids who had Cs and still went to ivies.)</p>
<p>I know one kid who got recruited for an ivy last year.
His stats were average. Sat: 1850.
Still, he is one of the best in the sport he got recruited.
Anyways, if you want to go to an ivy you should at least get a good sat score (1900-2400) decent gpa and some extracurricular activities couldn’t heart anyone.
This are my two cents, I believe you should speak with the coach of the ivy you are interested. He will tell you better than anyone what your stats should be.
Good luck!</p>
