<p>my son is cherokee w/ tribal card. he’s QB and captain of his football team. he’s pretty good although he’s only about 5’9 and on a struggling team. currently he’s ranked 2nd out of 350. we live in oklahoma and he goes to a public school that is about 20% native american with 50% poverty. he only made 24 on his ACT but will take it again. what are his chances to maybe play sprint football and get into an ivy? </p>
<p>thank you for your help, </p>
<p>newbie mom</p>
<p>what are his extracurriculars and would he do better on the SAT. Also, what ivy’s does he want to get into?</p>
<p>Student council, class officer, NHS, Spanish National Honor Society, has taken 5 years of Spanish, Science Club, NASA (Native American Student Association), GT,youth football coach for 5 years, is scheduled to take the SAT soon, any IVY I suppose–I don’t know that much about them. His English teacher and Princeton legacy recommended that he check out the sprint football</p>
<p>thanks so much!!</p>
<p>Whoa cool, I never knew something called sprint football (just googled it). Do you know if he can get recruited in sprint football? I don’t know if they have some ranking like Rivals.</p>
<p>i think so lol, but i’m just a mom so that’s why i’m here because I’m looking for answers. my son has taken 8 years of QB lessons and his coach has a QB at both Harvard and Princeton right now and he says my son is a more accurate QB just not as big. they are on the regular football teams not the sprint btw. I guess he could play either one but who knows?? Sprint does sound cool though 
besides my baby won’t get hit as hard as he does now playin big guy football, you know?</p>
<p>oh and his GPA is 3.8 un weighted and 4.5 weighted</p>
<p>it would be really great to get some feedback before I went to bed tonight, guys…anone? anyone??? lol</p>
<p>gah you guys suk!!!</p>
<p>jk jk</p>
<p>I’d say low. The ACT score is too low. There is a formula applied that takes into account GPA and scores annd a certain level must be reached.</p>
<p>In all honesty I’d worry about whether he could handle an ivy given his scores</p>
<p>Native will help him a lot at colleges, the football level you describe will not.</p>
<p>I think he stands an excellent chance given his class rank and ECs. Is he trying to get recruited? Any idea of what he wants to major in?</p>
<p>bd108…thanks. He was really disappointed in his ACT but he is working very hard to increase his score the next time he tests. He is actually being recruited by some smaller colleges right now. he blew out his ACL at the beginning of his junior year so he has very little stats to speak of. He’s healed up great and looks strong in summer league and he’s so excited to finally get to play. But to answer your question…he wants to be a dentist like his uncle and loves science. A navy recruiter met with us last week and said he was a “shoe-in” for their ROTC scholarship which would pay up to $180,000 to pretty much anywhere he wants to go. They said they would also pay every cent of his dental school and even pay him living expenses (around $350,000 total). Of course, he would “owe” 4-8 years as an officer, but that’s no biggie to him (maybe to momma though). Suggestion or any other advice/options we should check out?</p>
<p>well to be honest, almost none, he has pretty good ECs and grades, but those test scores just arent good enough for any of the IVYS</p>
