[ftp][/ftp] What is the minimum score required to compete at the NCAA Division 1 level? Thanks It's a sliding scale depending on GPA. It's 1010 for someone with a 2.0 core GPA.

Would it depend on the school they go to?

I think so. For instance in California the UC Schools are MUCH harder to get into then the Cal State Schools. Private Universities probably also have thier own requirements.....or the ability to waive those requirements.

NCAA does have limits, I think for ACT you have to have an 18 or higher.

Note: I made a slight correction to the table formatting. It previously said "SAT Sum"/"ACT"; it should be "SAT"/"Sum ACT".

I know that in the past, Harvard required a '28' on the ACT...(For athletes to be eligible.)

I know I had not heard of a change, so I was rather surprised by the chart.

They still use the 36-point scale...at least the version my daughter just took is based on 36 points. The SAT requirement is combined math and verbal. I'm not sure what the latest component is that makes for a max of 2400. I remember when I applied to college, some of my applications required a College Board "achievement test", for which I could use my highest score in an approved subject. Last I heard. they were renamed the "SAT II". I looked it up, and the NCAA wants the four (if that's still correct) sections of the ACT added up. I think the "composite" ACT score is an average of the four, or something like that. Several athletic dept websites noted that it was the sum and not the composite ACT score. www.brooklyn.liunet.edu/bbut11/general/clearinghouse.pdf

SATs are now up to 2400. The break down is 800 points in math, 800 points in verbal, and 800 points in a writing portion of the test.

I got a perfect 3200.
There is another section on Elocution and Etiquette. That's where you're tested on the finer points of vowel enunciation and afternoon tea with the British ladies.

So the ACT would be out of a possible 144.

So the ACT would be out of a possible 144. Yep. I also think it's possible to take the best individual score in each category if the test is taken multiple times. I took the SAT about five times between my soph and senior years of HS. My best individual combined (from two dates) was 20 points higher than my best one-day combined SAT score. Some schools took the former into account, but most schools wanted the latter. When it comes to regular admissions (not NCAA minimums) the schools will get all of the scores and can make an assessment based on the pattern if they choose.
