@TerribleBPthrower posted:I believe MIT is going to be a 1510/34 this year. I don't know exactly for UChicago but based on the kids they are recruiting I'd guess it is similar. Pretty much the same kids being recruited by that top tier HA D3 schools.
Keep in mind, this doesn't guarantee admission. These are just the lowest scores a coach is willing to submit to admissions. Also MIT is no longer test optional. They just completed a study and determined it was a failure and immediately implemented testing requirements again for 2022/2023.
Coaches at MIT, along with CalTech and UChicago don't have chits for admissions. Admitted players must have grades and test scores that are similar to the overall class. Coaches at these schools can guide players to the right range of grades/scores and let admissions know through the pre-read process who their preferred students are, but they can't say "I gotta have this one, please flex a bit for me" and get someone admitted. That said, most coaches at these schools have extensive experience getting players admitted, so they will only put the candidates through admissions who they're near certain will get in. That's why their yield is so good; they know what admissions wants to see.
Also keep in mind that the NCAA requires an ACT or SAT score for scholarships. So if you're looking to get athletic money at a D1, D2, NAIA or JUCO you'll need to take a standardized test.
Finally, found this on Tik Tok last night. Test scores at Yale, straight from the players -
