Ivy recruiting - the "Academic Index"

Slotty.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting that they took away the class rank aspect, and moved the index from 171 to 176.

I hope all is well with your family during the Holidays! We'll see you on the ballfield in 2013. Congrats on having your college recruiting hoopla DONE by Xmas! It makes a fantastic gift.

Thanks, Fenway.

I should have added that 11 months ago it was Fenway who provided me with an expert primer on navigating the Ivy recuiting process. I was a babe in the woods back then. The Times could've used him as a source for their article!

Slotty thanks for posting this. The article is very interesting....it is the 1st time I have seen how they are adjusting for the rank in class data.

It is motivating to sit down with a student who is 'on the bubble' perhaps and who can see what is still in her or her power to up their AI. A little more effort in the classroom to get that GPA up, and on the SATs and subject tests, can go a long way.

And I agree about Fenway's wealth of knowledge on all of this! Thanks, Fenway, for your advice this year --- we have certainly put it to good use.

Happy Holidays all ...
