<p>From an AI perspective, this student would have gotten 110 AI points for his SAT scores, although his SAT IIs could have boosted this slightly. If his school did not rank their class, his weighted GPA of 4.6 would have give him a full 80 AI points. A total AI of 190 would get a premier football player into Princeton any day if they wanted him and the admission would stand up to Ivy League standards. 171 is the lowest possible AI score accepted. The average AI for Princeton admittees is around 210. Non football atheles average around 200 - some higher, some lower. Football has AI bands, which this student would certainly fall within.</p>
