Reply to "Getting into the Ivy League as a regular student is tough"

One of my son's former coaches has a close relationship with an Ivy head coach.  Basically we were told about a year ago that my son had both the academic and baseball talents that made him very attractive to the school.

We looked at the costs, and unfortunately we are in the group that makes too much to get a lot in aid, but not enough to actually be able to afford for him to attend.  Regardless, for the opportunity I would have done whatever necessary to find a way to pay for it.  Ultimately, our son took a lot of factors into account and decided that an Ivy wouldn't be a good fit for him.  My bank account is thankful.

A former teammate will be playing for Dartmouth next year.  He's a 6'7 lefty that's a legit two way player.  High 80's fastball, stud defense at first, hits for power. Real nice kid. Great grades as well.  He would have had plenty of options, but decided that Ivy was the best fit for him.
