FourBases - My hope is that you have a backup plan. The odds of reaching for an extra 150 SAT points on a third try are relatively long and well documented. It is common for the coach to present that contingency at the OV. We don't know about your financial situation, but a PG year is something to research should your son come up short (however, it is more common for the PG year to overcome poor grades rather than poor test scores). Maybe I missed something but I didn't see you present a plan B should the SAT bar be set too high. Coaches use a lot of leverage when they need a particular player and/or are rebuilding. But the Ivy index is a hard number.
