If I had a dollar for every parent this year that thought their kid was headed to the Ivy's.  Several Ivy League coaches have told me they need between 2000 - 2100.  So, while others like Fenway have a lot more details on Academic Index, etc some quick math will tell me if I'm not pushing a 1,350 2 Part Sat which equals a 30 ACT, then I'm probably not a strong candidate.  

 

There are lots of High Academic kids out there with 1200-1300 SAT's... And then there is Elite Academics.  They are a mile apart.

 

Hope your boy crushes it when he takes it.  But to answer your question, ACT of 20, probably not pitching in the Ivy's.  

 

But then again, if he's a LHP in the mid 80's he'll have other options.

Gotcha. Thanks. I didnt know if the Ivy coaches had the same flexiblity with their baseball players as say the Vandys. I know for a fact that there are baseball players there that did not come close to scoring in the 30s.
