<p>If I heard of anyone being admitted to an Ivy League school with those stats I would assume they had done something else academically to balance out their scores. Maybe they went to a really hard school, maybe they have a few bad grades in one particular subject area, maybe they don’t take standardized tests well.</p>
<p>There is no minimum GPA or minimum SAT for admission to the Ivy Leagues. There just isn’t. All admitted students, including athletes, have to demonstrate some sort of minimum academic ability as determined by the admissions committee. Once an applicant demonstrates some sort of minimum academic potential then the other aspects of their application come into play.</p>
<p>When I hear that an athlete has been admitted to an Ivy League school I know that they passed that school’s academic requirements. I also know that there are thousands of applicants who also passed the school’s academic requirements who weren’t admitted. It’s just the way it is.</p>
<p>Would the athlete have been admitted to the school if they weren’t a star athlete? I can’t really say, but I know many of the students admitted to the Ivy League school bring something extra to the table. In the case of an athlete it was their athletic ability.</p>
