Fall 2009 Transfer to play baseball

Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm a freshman at Miami University (Ohio) and after deciding not to play baseball straight out of high school I changed as my mind, but it was too late and their roster is already full. I talked to some coaches at some ivy's and other academic schools, but they have already committed to the maximum number of players they can get into the school with sub-par grades.</p>

<p>My list includes:
Brown
Dartmouth
Yale
Cornell
Penn
Columbia
Davidson
Georgetown
Lehigh
University of Richmond
UVA (a stretch for playing there, but have a chance)
Duke (same situation as UVA)</p>

<p>My application (main points)
4.00 GPA - College (i am only 100% sure after two months that I can keep it up easily for the rest of the year)
3.7 GPA - High school (6 AP classes)
Good recs</p>

<p>ACT Composite Score - 28
Math - 32 English - 32 Reading - 28 Science - 28 at two different sittings
So an average composite of 30 (but i'm not sure if schools will look at ACT averages???)</p>

<p>Eagle Scout
Volunteer of the Year Award from a prominent organization in my 110,000 pop. home town</p>

<p>I got suspended in 11th grade for alcohol on a florida spring break trip, but no trouble since then.</p>

<p>If the coaches are unable to use athletic leverage to get you in, you presumably have to rely on your academics alone, which, aside from your college record, are mediocre at best. Your high school record would be of prime importance given that you are a sophomore transfer, which would also hurt you. You stand little to no chance of transferring up to top ten/Ivy League schools.</p>
