I have a tough situation here. I believe I'm good enough to get looks by some division 3 programmes since I have decent grades and have some tools. Problem is I'm not a citizen of United States and I won't be able to do student loans or any sort of...

Hello, Call the school that you are interested in and try to set up a school visit, you will be able to meet with the admin group and also talk to the coach when you visit. There are only academic scholarships in D3 level no sport scholarships. Good luck,

Good luck, this is true, however, there is also some academic money out there for players who would not have gotten it if they didn't play...bottom line is you still need to be a good student.

May I ask why you limited your question to DIII? DII schools offer athletic scholarships, and junior colleges are typically much less expensive than DIII.

I know that the school my son attends prides itself on diversity. There are Scholarships targeted at international students. For instance I did a search, for scholarships on the Web site of my sons school and came up with this. http://choose.owu.edu/financia...onalScholarships.php I am sure this school is not the only one to offer scholarships to international students. I believe the deadlines are different as well. You may want to narrow your search to the schools you know offer...

I am only considering Divison 3 schools since I am looking for a great education.

My wife went to a Juco then graduated summa cum laude from UCLA. She believes that she got a great education. My former coaching partner went to a D2 Cal State. He founded a large corporation and is stinking rich. He also feels that he got a great education.

As with anything in life you will get what you put into it. While I consider myself an advocate of D3 schools, you can get a great education going many routes. Junior college is a great option, and cost effective. If you have the drive to learn, you can get a great education anywhere. I know people who did not go to college yet they still feel they got a great education, in the working world.

However there are just as many, if not more D1&D2 top academic schools which offer both academic and athletic scholarship money. Furthermore, some of these schools are even public(i.e. Univ. Of Virginia or UCLA) so tuition is much lower. So if the only reason you are limiting yourself to D3 is...

Are you planning to enter college in the fall of 2015? If so, some of that scholarship money is already spoken for. As with athletics, I think you'll also find some overlap in academic distinction between DII and DIII colleges. But as others have advised, a "great education" means different things to different people. What does "great education" mean to you? High paying job after undergrad? Impressive diploma? Great resume for graduate school? Intellectual challenge? Think carefully about...

For me and my community/high school, I believe a college that offers a good education means a good job after undergrad. I am not really sure what I would like to do, but for now I am looking for schools that have good reputations. I have a 3.5 GPA and trying to get a 2000+ on my SAT.So a good Liberal Art school sounds like a right fit...

I believe I am not good enough to play at a division one programme. I just don't have enough tools. I am well aware of that. I am 5'7 155 Lbs and not fast for a middle infielder. (I am trying to run under a 7.5 by next spring.) I believe division 3 schools are the right fit for me. However I will do some research on some D2 schools. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply, I completely agree you can get a good education whereever you go, but it is important that I can go to a school with good reputation.

shotatsuda, Here are the six schools that offer need blind and full need admissions to international students : MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Massachusetts Harvard University in Massachusetts Princeton University in New Jersey Yale University in Connecticut Dartmouth College in New Hampshire Amherst College in Massachusetts Amherst & MIT are both D3 and the other four are Ivy League schools which are D1. If you are admitted to any of these colleges you will be able to...
