dbg_fan,
As someone with experience, let me ask you this:
When an athlete like your son is admitted to an ivy, using baseball skill as a hook, are they able to keep up academically with probably superior students and the rigors of competing in baseball? Or does the academic assistance provided to student athletes makeup for any differences?
My son (a junior) needs to make a big decision soon regarding just this situation. He is a mid level student on the "academic index" that the ivies use (around 190+), but he has done that playing 3 HS varsity sports and not really doing any SAT test prep. He and I are concerned that playing baseball at a school that he starts off on the low-end of academically might be too much.
