what ACT score is needed for an IVY? what about Stanford? How close is a 28? Im assuming ivy's and stanford want a 30 minimum?
way more to it then an ACT score for an IVY. They look at a lot of different factors. Academic rigor, grade trends, ACT scores, interviews, outside class activities.

If you school has naviance take a look at the ivys and see what is getting in. The standards for athletes are not much lower.

I would add that some schools take into account where a kid is from, and what their financial situation is. For instance, Ryan received an offer of $51,000 out of $57,000 all based on us being from Idaho (They had never had a baseball kid from Idaho.), and our financial situation. We wouldn't even have considered the school without the substantial financial offer. None of the $51,000 was for Athletics.
