Ivy will not take a 3.4, heard straight from the mouth of an Ivy coach. Gave the nod to the Hopkins coach to go on the kid. "" I would take the kid in a second but I can't get a 3.4 thru admissions, even with a 30 on ACT".
I heard it on the sidelines after a prospect camp over the summer.
You should do a little research on how the Ivy's work.
Are you familiar with the AI? Not every kid being recruited at an Ivy has to have the same grades and test scores. The more the coach wants the player the lower their AI can be. If a player is of average ability but has off the chart grades and test scores he might get recruited in order to help bring the AI Average up so the coach can recruit the stud that he really wants.
Every situation is different and there is a wide range to each recruiting class. That said, all of the recruits must be strong students but they do not need 4.0's and perfect test scores.
