ND and Columbia have different time lines for recruiting, as well as flexibility with admissions. In the end you and your son need to have perspective of his abilities so that you can craft a recruiting plan according to your son's abilities, grades, and goals.
The best way for you to get dialed in: search button above right - Ivy's, Academic Index, Academic D1's, Power conference academics.... Tons of experiences shared and discussed. With this you'll gain a lot of perspective to assist your son. This is a great board with kids playing at high level schools as well as being drafted: Power D 1's, MLB, D3 academics to Juco... (not in any necessary order, diff kids diff fits).
Keep in mind: regardless of the level of school, the baseball coaches are looking for baseball players. Whether a kid has a 32 ACT or a 24...coaches are looking for the best player and hoping for a fit academically.
No coach wants to be concerned about the academics of a rostered player. Either he's a hitter or a pitcher...
