ATTENTION ATHLETES: UNDERSTAND THE TERM : ACADEMIC INDEX",

What is the Academic Index?  The Academic Index is a formula the many of the top tier schools use predominately for recruited athletes, and not to be confused with those who are recruited athletes.  These are athletes that are separate from those who happen to have played sports in high school.   


If you’re being recruited, you know who you are!. Most likely you have already been asked to sign a letter of intent.However, if you are not in as popular a sport and have been talking to coaches, perhaps you need familiar yourself with these standards.

The Academic index combines SAT scores, SAT Subject Tests and a student’s class rank. Even for non-recruits, it can be a helpful guideline to show students how they stack up among Ivy applicants. 

This formula may be changing as the SAT Subject Test, for even the UC schools that created the tests, will be this next year optional.
