Dartmouth baseball coach invitation

Colleges and Universities A-Z Dartmouth College

<p>My son recently received a letter from Dartmouth baseball coach to invite him for an one day event in Feb. The events will discuss admission process and meet baseball coach and players. My question is how improtant is this event? My son is a junior and a baseball player in High school. His academic is good (GPA 3.5/4.0) and takes all the APs. He is also an excellent baseball player although he is not big (150lb and 5'10). I think my son should be able to get into one of the campus in University of California (We live in CA), but I do not think he has good chance to get to Ivy. Should we go to this event?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Did this look like a mass mailing or was it more personal? If the latter and if your son has not contacted the coach (see here for recruitment information, if you haven’t seen it already: [Recruiting</a> Information - DartmouthSports.com—Official Web Site of Dartmouth Varsity Athletics](<a href=“http://www.dartmouthsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=11600&ATCLID=587984]Recruiting”>http://www.dartmouthsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=11600&ATCLID=587984)), then it would look to me as though they have a definite interest in him and his grades. If my kid had gotten such a letter, I would have gone for it, but I hope one of the current players or a recent alum can shed some light on this.</p>

<p>My younger brother is on the their football mailing list, When he emails them though they always back and it is an assistant coach who writes him.</p>
