college/grades

GPA, test scores and baseball skills..kind of in that order. What position you play, your physical stature (or how you project in stature) are all important for scholarship money. Academic money works differently from baseball money...but, hey, money is money. So far, with your GPA, you'll likely get academic money. Play hard. Get your name and face out there with summer/fall leagues, showcases and camps. Try to get into the Stanford Camp this summer, if you want Stanford...you'll meet the coaching staff and other colleges of great caliber.

Thank You!

Get into the Stanford Camp!!!! There are many coaches attending their camp, even from the IVY League schools. Give yourself as much exposure starting this summer. Do the camp and maybe do a Perfect Game showcase. If your interested in school out east, do the College Select showcase in either New York state or Connecticut.

Keep the grades up, doing extra training or instruction, and keep working hard.

Send a PM to SDBB. His son was thinking Stanford a couple of years ago and he had a 4+ GPA and a 1400+ SAT. I don't believe he got an offer from them. To give you an idea of the baseball skills, he was a Freshman All-American and ACC Freshman of the Year at Wake Forest.

It's really hard to know what schools will work for you until after you have taken the SAT or ACT. That is a crucial piece of information, along with your GPA, for determining the range of schools that are possible. I don't know what minimums there are for GPA/SAT at any of these schools, if you are a recruited athlete: the admissions office looks at the whole package--grades, scores, talents, recommendations, essays, etc. Some admissions offices give more scrutiny than others to the lists of recruited athletes.
