So, just so people reading this are clear: that SAT/ACT number is for ALL matriculating students; not JUST athletes.
Therefore, except for some schools/leagues (e.g., IVY), that statistic - because it includes EVERY incoming student - is a pretty worthless metric in determining if your player is recruitable.
Because each school (except for the Ivy league which sets a league-wide standard for athletes) has it's own unique testing standards, the coach is the one who knows the minimums. The coach knows how low the range for athletes extends; for the athlete wondering if he can be admitted, ONLY the lowest number is important; a range is irrelevant.
Parents must realize that athletes are given leeway in scores which regular applicants don't have - including the Ivy league.
(It is for another discussion whether a kid scoring 1000 in a school where 50% is 1300 is an indication of anything.)
