How reliable is college confidential’s academic index?
For example, I was playing with the numbers - and if someone has only a 3.7
with a 2350 on their SAT’s along with a 1550 on their SAT 2’s, they are still a perfect 9/9 candidate?
How is that possible? On ivy results threads it seems most people below 3.8 don’t get into ivies.

Even if a student has a 3.0 they can still be a 7/9 - which apparently qualifies them as a competitive applicant.
This seems impossible.
