<p>^^ i never meant to say that a 2220 was a low score. i was trying to point out how when people say you need a 2350+ to get into HYP (the Duke AB is just as difficult to achieve as admission to HYP), it’s mostly nonsense. the admissions process not entirely holistic, but it is to a certain extent and that is what will serve Speedyz well.</p>

1182

<p>well lets hope so… less than a month left :)</p>

1183

<p>qwerty, i wasn’t being sarcastic at all.</p>

1184

<p>^you, sir, are an unfathomable creature.</p>

1185

<p>qwerty, so i’ve heard. i hate that tone is so hard to convey on internet forums.</p>

<p>anyways, anyone in the mood to create random rankings? :)</p>

1186

<p>whats this academic index thing … ?</p>

1187

<p>^ it’s an index the ivies use to measure the academic capabilities of their recruited athletes. the recruited athletes only need to reach a certain rank (usually 5, but it often varies from one institution to the other) to gain admission. although its use has been extensively curbed in recent years, it is still fairly prevalent.</p>

1188

<p>lol, i just checked mine; 236. i doubt it means anything though.</p>

1189

<p>oh k only for athletes… ahan</p>

1191

<p>how do you check anyways ? Without a class rank or a weighted GPA ? just a UW GPA</p>

1192

<p>i thought the index was for everyone?</p>

1193

<p>i just entered 3.8 for unweighted GPA on the calculator. colleges calculate one for us anyways, and i don’t think mine would be any lower than that.</p>

1194

<p>link to the calculator please :stuck_out_tongue: ?</p>

1195

<p>qwerty, see the following:</p>
