<p>I've always wanted to go to college in NYC, but that would be hard. I'll definitely live there when I graduate from college though. I'll be back, Manhattan!</p>
<p>This is the college I'm most interested in right now though. I'm not sure about their mater's in business program. Is this a good college? I saw that you have to have at least a C average to get in. That's easy for me because I have an 91 average. </p>
<p>Does anybody have any pictures of this campus? If so, could you post them? I did searches and I couldn't find much. Does anybody go there? If you do, what's it like? Thanks for your help.:) </p>
<p>The main reason I'm looking at this school is because of their baseball team. They have one of the best teams in the country.</p>
<p>No offense, but your reasoning for looking at a school because of an athletic team is rediculously sad. I recommend you straighten your priorities.</p>
<p>I have a really good chance at the majors though. Scouts have heard about me and came to some games. I don't want to go to a school with no good sports teams. My chances at the majors will be shot. But I checked out their site and it looked great. It looks really good.</p>
<p>Yeah! I practice all the time. Whenever my baseball game's over, I stay and my dad will hit some to me and I'll hit. We do it for like 3 hours. We come home and I practice more. We go on vacation to Florida or somewhere else, and I practice more. I went to the Buffalo Bisons Triple A baseball camp and the players said I was the best player for my age they've ever seen. Not to brag but I know I could play D1. I just got done practicing about 30 minutes ago. We have bright lights in our backyard so I can practice at night.</p>
<p>i know a couple of kids who play in the premier league here and know a couple guys who have been drafted or are playing div1 i would say its extremely hard and competitive and walking on at some place like ASU where bonds use to play you must be very very good or extremely confident. How have no division 1, 2 or even 3 scouts heard of you? most baseball players have to do a lot of self promotion so that means going on college websites emailing coaches, sending tapes out this will increase your chances of a baseball scholarship and playing competitive baseball at the college level</p>
<p>good to know that you'll actually TRY to get into the college baseball team.</p>
<p>cuz really, kids who priortize sports team for their main factor for chooseing a coolege when all they gonna do is cheer for them.... really needs a bang on their head and need to understand what will really affect his future... </p>
<p>a college athletic team that won't do any good to him except maybe raise school pride... or a real quality education and excellent alumni connectino that will actually help you in the future.</p>
<p>If you intend to play D-1 baseball AND STUDY, and you're willing to go out west, consider Washington State University in Pullman. Better academics than Arizona State and its alumni includes major league players. A really outstanding academic program. Admission is a bit less selective only because the school's isolated location (but great weather) and from competition with the U of Washington in Seattle. As a baseball player you'd get exposure because the school is in the Pacific-10 Conference, just like ASU. Plus, you'd get an education. How about that?</p>
<p>I presume you play on your high school's baseball team. To get recruited, you need to have your coach talk to the ASU head coach as a first step. If you are that good, you should try to get recruited to get your education paid for.</p>
<p>Just curious why you haven't been actively scouted by college scouts. I don't know about college baseball but college football coaches keep track of all their star prospects since 8th or 9th grades.</p>
<p>You sound very young. While it is part of life to try and find a school to play your sport at. Also look at the school IF you couldn't play, would you still want to go there? </p>
<p>If you are HS age, put your information on the NCAA clearhouse website and you'll hear from college coaches that are interested in you.</p>
<p>ASU is good middle of the pack school. It isnt OSU, Arizona, USC or Stanford. You need to get right on contacting them though. The recruiting process for kids your age has been going on at least two years. So youre behind a bit.</p>
<p>Baseball is very hard sport in college because of the length of the season. Many schools are struggling with the NCAA academic progress rules. Selling yourself as good student will be a plus.</p>

<p>We just moved moved to the Buffalo area from the NYC area. I didn't play baseball in 2005 because we had to move in. But I played for the county team. The county team coach talked to the varsity baseball coach who was at the championship game and the varsity coach was like "holy *****, who the hell is that?", and my coach told him my name and to get me on his team next year. I was only a freshman when that happened. The varsity coach said "I could have used him this year." Now I'm a sophomore and the varsity baseball coach wants me on his team. I've been scouted by a Triple A team. At our championship game, Buffalo Bisons scouts came and looked at me. I did awesome that game too. 4 for 4 with a double and a home run. Next year, I think college scouts will be at the games...I hope.</p>
<p>Ok? Youre a soph. My dad was being scouted by Pro teams in HS. It doesnt mean you will get a scholarship anywhere. Scouts scout. Nothing is definite. You're still a few years off from all of this anyway.</p>
<p>I know that. But there's a very good chance I will. If you're good enough, they'll find you. You just have to go out and show off instead of sitting around waiting for nothing. Whenever I get the chance to be noticed in baseball, I take the chance and I get noticed. My coach says I have great baseball instincts. When the balls hit to me, I don't hesitate, I go after it and field it smoothly. They notice that. My uncle's uncle(my dad's sister's husband's uncle) played for the Montreal Expos. A guy who played for the Boston Red Sox coached me too. And I go to pro baseball camps all the time. I get coached one-on-one with a pro baseball coach during the winter to keep me ready for next year and to improve.</p>
<p>Well if your goal is college, spend some time in the classroom too. If you got "mad skills" in baseball and think you'll get drafted, spend some time in the classroom. Either way that time spent in the classroom will help you in both directions.</p>
