<p>The two Ivy recruits (and current Ivy athletes) I know personally were </p>
<p>NMF: 700 plus on all three SAT sections,
class rank top 5/650,
ranked top 50 nationally in their sports </p>
<p>other ECs:
academic pursuits including selective summer programs (not the open invitation, overpriced ones),
participation in audition orchestra/choir,
school leadership including NHS and/or class officer</p>
<p>Sports related ECs:
team captains
Service group leadership at school
Helping with/organizing community events involving their sport.<br>
instructor/coach at sport-related summer camps (volunteer and paid)</p>
<p>Part-time job
Both had summer jobs involving their future career interests</p>
<p>Please don’t extrapolate this to mean Ivy recruits should always have these things. These are two data points.</p>
