"Academically Qualified" and "Academic Threshold"

I always hear these words being thrown around. That top colleges look to make sure that students are past their academic threshold or are academically qualified before looking deeper into the ECs, Letter of Recs, essays, etc.

However, it is not specified what GPA/ACT/SAT would determine if a student is academically qualified for, say, top 30 schools?

Could someone give me an idea of what would be considered a range that would be academically qualified?

Thanks.
