Inside Alpha’s “Olympic-Level” Project For High Schoolers

Share This Post

If you want your kid to stand out in the future, straight A’s aren’t going to cut it. On average, the standard admission rate for an Ivy League school is 5% or less. Thousands of brilliant students get turned away every year.

But there’s a catch.

After doing some digging, my team and I uncovered a crazy statistic — there is a certain demographic of students who have a 75% chance of getting accepted into an Ivy League college. Seriously!? While every other kid flounders to get accepted into their dream Ivy, there’s a group of students almost guaranteed to get in? You could say our curiosity was officially piqued.

My team and I found three commonalities among the 75%:

  1. They score 1550+ on the SAT

  2. They score a 5 on at least three of the most difficult AP tests (like chemistry or calc BC)

  3. And they are Olympic athletes.
