<p>How can you play Varsity baseball in 8th grade?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>There is little interest in baseball at my school, and the year that I was in 8th grade there weren’t enough people coming out to put together a JV/B team, so the better 7th/8th graders who would normally play JV/B were given the opportunity to play varsity. I was basically in the outfield all the time.</p>

<p>woops sorry about the double post</p>

<p>I thought I’d bump this.</p>

<p>University of Washington-Seattle: I’d say it’s a no, but now they have their new “wholistic” approach so I’d classify is as a solid reach. (but definitely still possible)</p>

<p>Emerson College: Not sure.</p>

<p>New York University: Hella reach</p>

<p>Northeastern: High match</p>

<p>Mizzou: In.</p>

<p>Georgetown (I know it’s going to be a huuuuuuuge reach. Is it even worth applying?)</p>

<p>

Sorry, but no.</p>

<p>James Madison University: I think you’ll be good here.</p>

<p>University of Minnesota-Twin Cities: dude they’re so random that it’s impossible to guess. Last year all the kids with 2.7’s got in while vals and sals got waitlisted/rejected.</p>

<p>Indiana University-Bloomington: In.</p>

<p>University of Wisconsin-Madison: I know people who got in with less, but it’s highly highly unlikely with that GPA.</p>

<p>University of Illinois: 50/50, depends on what college you apply into.</p>

<p>University of Miami: Not sure</p>

<p>University of Maine: In.</p>
