Dirk,

You may find this hard to believe, but Harvard, Yale and other ivys have very specific academic requirements for baseball (athletic) recruiting. It is called the Academic Index and it is the required measuring stick for all prospective Ivy athletes. Refer to this for specifics http://www.tier1athletics.org/...dex-calculator-2012/

Duke, Vanderbilt, Virginia and others will require much more athletic talent (than Ivys) but can have a little more leniency on the academic metrics if they choose to. For the last 3 years I;ve known someone who had incredible baseball talent and incredible board scores (ACT or SAT) that was strongly recruited by an Ivy that ended up at Stanford. IMHO, Stanford has much different requirements than the rest.
