A few more Ivy points not to hijack this thread however:
- Some schools do not offer APs so there is NO universal rule of having to take x number by the Ivies. As you can see from the Academic Index, GPA feeds in, but rigor does not. Clearly demonstrated rigor (like AP or honors classes) can help the admissions office overlook some lower grades however...
- The AI formula is supposedly secret, though it has been given out by a certain RC of one of the Ivies in the past few years. The formula may change so use what has been posted as guidance and not something necessarily set in stone
- Ivies, and other high academic schools, have to spread a very wide net to ensure they can get the level of baseball they are looking for, along with the needed academic credentials. Contact by Ivies has to be put in context. They will keep quite a few in the "stable" while they pursue specific recruits. If they are not texting or calling, be careful in thinking you are near the top of the boards. Two Ivies in particular have RCs that respond immediately to emails. They are just professionals, and good communicators. Not necessarily recruiting you yet.
- Remember there are no scholarships at the Ivies, not for athletics and no merit aid. Only need based financial aid, so make sure this works for your family as you move down the recruiting path.
