Reply to "There is a program for every player"

On the Southwestern/Trinity question. My daughter (not an athlete) went to Southwestern. My limited information is that they make their admissions decisions based on who they want to admit, not financial issues. The question will be what are they looking for on the baseball team. I'm sure they would be glad to know that you can afford to pay what isn't covered by scholarships.

My view is that your son has a lot to offer in that he has good grades and a great sports attitude. It is a small school which looks for quality people. She has a great experience there, and has friends who played sports there all 4 years.

As for Trinity, I have a niece there playing softball. She also receives financial aid. Again, I believe the admissions decisions are separate from the financial aid decision. Her parents could afford to pay what isn't covered by her scholarships, which I'm sure was a plus at some level.

I didn't mention Austin College in Sherman. Another an academically sound Div 3 school.

Good luck.
