<p>hey guys…</p>
<p>just out of curiosity…
what really is the lowest score anyone ever got?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that information is confidential. But, if somebody genuinely knows, please do tell…</p>
<p>The Ivy League utilizes a tool called the Academic Index (AI for short) which is a number assigned to a recruited applicant consisting of SAT I and II scores along with class rank used for recruited athletes to make sure they can make it in a tough academic institution. Athletes are considered to have the biggest “hook” for getting into a school, so it follows that athletes could get by with the lowest SAT scores.</p>
<p>I do not know how the AI is calculated, but this tool [Academic</a> Index Calculator - Ivy League](<a href=“http://www.collegeconfidential.com/academic_index3.htm]Academic”>http://www.collegeconfidential.com/academic_index3.htm) has sometimes been used here on CC. </p>
<p>I believe the lowest allowed score for an Ivy League athletic recruit is 171 (at the very lowest), so I popped some numbers into the AI tool and came up with the following:</p>
<p>If someone was 1 in a class of 750, the lowest SAT scores they could get would be as follows (I am sure there are many combinations but this was the simplest)</p>
<p>SAT I Verbal 500
SAT I Math 500
SAT II Anything 430
SAT II Anything 400
SAT II Anything 400</p>
<p>Now, has this unexpected dichotomy of super high rank and super low scores in a recruited athlete ever occurred? We may never know…</p>
<p>I would like to know also about that!</p>
<p>Hahahah wowowww</p>
<p>what do they do for schools that don’t provide GPA or class rank?</p>
<p>If it were a class of 750 potential athletes with all bad SAT scores then yes!</p>
<p>according to this </p>
<p>[Princeton</a> University | Admission Statistics](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/admission_statistics/]Princeton”>http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/admission_statistics/)</p>
<p>.6% of applicants with a 1500-1690 were accepted</p>
<p>I don’t know what the lowest SAT is but I know a kid with a 1590/1600 when they didn’t have the writing section but he was ranked something like 120/400 in his class and he got in so i guess a low class rank can still get in. Hope that helps.</p>
<p>I have a 97.5 gpa and rank in the 50th percentile in my school… so i guess its not just GPA</p>
<p>Wow. secowis, your school has serious grade inflation.</p>
<p>actually it is one of the specialized high school. Most senior classes are weighted</p>
<p>I think If I got in, I will historically be the student with the worst SAT I score with 1380/2400
Besides, my SAT 2 came out today I really do not think it improves my chance rateher than make it worst…
english lit 460
Math 2 600
French 800</p>
<p>So ivy babe, i think your question will be answered after march 31st although now I do not believe in anymore…</p>
