I know they are d# and play in the UAA conference. Their Conference does not have an automatic qualifier for the NCAA tourney but are usually a strong pool B or at large (Pool C)contenders.
You can find out more about the conference ant the teams at:
D3boards.com
Not a lot there but hopefully it will be of some use.
This board is very helpfull for all sports in D3.

One of my club ball kids (and one of 4thGen's best friends), is a outfielder in the program. Great academic school. If they are interested in your son he must be a high achiever in the classroom. Send me a PM with any specific questions and I'll be glad to pass along what I know.
Be careful.
Emory Coaches have little influence with Admissions, but will show great interest and lead you along for months that your Son should be qualified to gain admission. Don't count on their coaches.

We were told that he would need a 3.7GPA which we have and 1900+ SAT which may be a strech.
Thurm: that's all you would need for Emory? Wow, I was expecting a heck of a lot higher number. I applied ED to Wash U. In St. Louis with a 32 ACT and 3.8+ gpa but got deferred. As I mentioned in another thread about getting in to top academic schools, getting into d3 schools like Emory require more of a well-rounded application as opposed to a statistics threshold (atleast in my experience). Although an Emory education is world-renowned, you want to make sure you put your son in the best position to succeed academically. If your son is a stretch to get in, there's a pretty good chance that it's going to be a stretch for him to succeed at a high level for 4 years there.

Great campus and very good talent on their teams each year.
They compete in their conference each year and expect to win it as they are capable of doing.

As well for us, the Emory HC pretty much stated to us that he has little influence with admissions. That being said, the HC was extremely helpful in terms of vetting my son's academic stats and gave what he felt was a vote of confidence, based on his experience, regarding admissions. He was very forthcoming and responsive. My son never did apply though, he just had no interest in Atlanta.
What another poster said holds true, schools like Emory look at a lot of factors when they read an application (diversity, geographic make-up, essays and the ability to write, letters of recommendation, unique attributes and talents, etc.) beyond just raw GPA and standardized test scores.

Not a fan of the campus, but the field was nice enough. Okay baseball. There are certainly many nicer looking schools, but few are better academically.
Thurm - Based on kids I know who got accepted (and ones that I know that didn't), a 3.7 and 1900 SAT are probably the ground floor for consideration. I'd need to look at Princeton Review to have a better feel but I guess that less than 20% of the kids accepted have less than a 3.8/2150.
