hey @happytimes the ACT30 was first hand to kid on phone from bottom third ivy after following up from attending camp. At Columbia (not school on the phone) the current girls at the school told my kid at a campus camp “a 30 should get you in anywhere in the Ivy league”.
@Ohiodad51 the AI is not differential calculus it no longer includes class rank and the top recruited players are not taking subject tests.
AI is a rolling 4 year average so coaches can have a class below as long as other ones are higher. Also why classes can be bigger or smaller than 7 likely letter slots. There is engineered wiggle room.
here’s a post a week ago from someone I have no idea who it is but was posted in the financial aid section. Go tell this person s/he is wrong.
@Karmakid these folks think you are making it up.
“Hi, new to this forum and can’t seem to find the answers anywhere. I have a daughter in grade nine that has been approached by a few Ivy league and non Ivy league coaches. She wants to commit to an Ivy league. We are afraid to make her verbal commitment public because we know that the Ivy league schools will match financial aid…”
yes this parent may not completely understand commit to the process but the gist is correct. If her kid hits the numbers she will get in or else that coach’s reputation will be trashed. Soccer parents come from the high income bracket, there absolutely will be discussion between coaches/parents/kid of what grades and test score are needed before the info is posted on instagram and topdrawersoccer for 9th and 10th graders
