According to http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2011/12/25/sports/25ivy-GFX.html?ref=sports the academic index is computed using either
(1) SAT scores and the GPA OR
(2) SAT and SAT II scores and the GPA

There is a minimum academic index for recruited athletes. The Ivies have discretion in how much weight they give the academic index for other students.
