<p>I am an athlete and I won’t comment on myself but I can tell you that if half the team has a 2400 and the other half has a 1600 the school pretty much considers it a 2000 overall for the team. Obviously it’s not like that but you definitely do not need any higher than ~1800 to be an ivy league athlete because there are kids on the teams with really good grades. They need to keep a team average so they take both the high and the low</p>
