I’m curious - what is an ACT minimum that Ivy’s or NESCACs look for in a pre-read?

It seems to me that it is very dependent on the school, the sport, and how badly the school wants/ needs the athlete . I did get the sense that there was a “floor” but IDK what that would be.

I would agree. Very good summary.
IMO it also depends on the athletes that the coach is recruiting that particular year as the coach as a limited # of Likely Letters for the Ivy’s or slots for NESCAC. If there are several similar strong top athletes that also have very strong academics, they may edge out the athlete with the lower scores as it is easier to get them thru the AO, where as the next year the coach’s top recruits may not be as strong academically so they may have a better shot academically of edging out someone else.
It’s been a few years so I am not sure how the AI is currently used or not used in the Ivy’s though if you go by the formula, it may give you a sense of lower scores.
