My question is, is playing D1 baseball, not IVY, and getting a good GPA for premed reasonable? or too much for most kids to take on?

My son is a good student but not exceptional.

It is too much for most kids, but there are of course exceptions like Ryan Tannehill, I think about a 3.5 in biology. Tannehill had said he wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon but I do not know if he ever took the MCAT.

Not sure if you son only wants the pre-med degree or if he wants to go to medical school. In most cases, need to be an exceptional student to go to medical school.
