Reply to "How many prospects can an Ivy school run through admissions?"

I'm by no means an expert as my son is just starting his HS freshman year, but he did attend an Ivy camp this summer (just happened to be a camp going on while we were on vacation). The head coach went through the admissions process with all of the parents there. One of his comments I thought was interesting is that admissions has gotten much more difficult for him since the other admissions scandals. He said as long as someone had a 33+ ACT and a strong GPA he could "support" them through admissions. Now they are scrutinizing each recruit much more than they were a year ago.
