Reply to "D3 Grad School Anyone?"

JCGStill working on a clever handle

MIT, U of Chicago, Washington U., NYU and Johns Hopkins are among the D3 schools that offer the grad degree that my son would be most likely to do. Could he get into any of those? Could he get playing time at any of those? Could he balance baseball with the academics?

Those are all unknowns.

Fenway, the money is a big part of the conversation for sure, and yes, the mommy and daddy well is dry here too. Fortunately the kid has a few dollars left in his college fund and a little more from family gifts. I figure that if he did a one-year program he'd need to borrow half the total cost of attendance. If a a two-year program, then 3/4. He's the Econ student so he'll be the one to decide if the ROI is worth it.
