I just put up a discussion on Vanderbilt. It was kind of unfortunate news. I am a sophmore honors student, however i seemed to think my freshman year was a throw away year and i could goof off. Now that I am a sophmore i've realized how deep of a hole i've dug myself, now dont get me wrong i am not saying that i was failing just not where i could of been. I have heard it isn't that hard to get into WVU, but I am not sure about the baseball team there. Does anyone know of any other D1 school with a decent baseball program, and able to get into with a 2.8-3.0 unweighted in the southeast area?

NH, GPA is only one part of the application process. The best thing you could right now is go to the book store and get one the college review books. We used the Princeton Review "The Best 357 Colleges". There are other books similar, find one you like. These books will give you a good overview of the academic requirement, demographics and social aspects of the schools. Then get on the website and look up the baseball program.

Have fun

Now that you've come to realize the significance of good grades, do something about it by turning around your classroom performance; rather than lowering your college sights. Few changes are more impressive than a high school sophomore who demonstrates the maturity to recognize the issue (subpar performance during the freshman year) and shows the resolve to correct his performance; and there are college admissions offices at good schools that are capable of recognizing the value of your having done that.

Take Jazzman's advice and educate yourself on the admissions standards at various schools, and pick a variety in terms of the challenge they represent. With improved performance and a well-crafted essay about why and how you corrected your course, the more challenging schools may not be out of reach.

In any case, hard work in the classroom is every bit as important as it is on the field.

All the best to you!
