<p>I agree with pach- my S-not a state level athlete, but tops in our area in a “niche” sport, “not competitive enough” for Amherst with only a “tip” according to the coach with 4.0 IB, top 5% of his class, ACT 31 and average SAT2 660, fab ECs and community service. So it really depends on the sport and how good you really are. I think 700s sit a lot better with admissions.
And it really does matter what your test scores are, unless you are “interesting” or fill some kind of “crafting a class” slot…</p>
