<p>Genuine question: Do athletes with 1790’s truly get in HYP? If so, are they only football players? And isn’t it true there still can’t be that many of them in that lower band, as per Ivy AI rules? (Sorry for the stereotyping there–I don’t mean football players aren’t as intelligent as other athletes, but rather that schools care much more about football than other sports and having a good team, such that they seem more likely to lower standards.) I would be more inclined to believe such kids get into Penn and Columbia than HYP, given some personal experiences with kids in our area. Maybe it’s because our experience is with a women’s, low profile sport, but when recruits discussed their stats on OV’s, no one D met who was recruited to HYP had SAT scores that low. They were all ever 2000.</p>
<p>PS.: She didn’t visit Dartmouth, but I read that due to school size, Harvard could take some kids that were too low for Dartmouth. So I doubt kids that low would get in Dartmouth either.</p>
