Committed to a School Athletically, But Recently Admitted To Better Academic Schools

You say the school hasn’t sent any grad to professional baseball or to IB/consulting (or at least an alum who reported that back to the school). If it is a small school, that doesn’t surprise me. Maybe alums went into IB after grad school, maybe a baseball player continued on thru coaching youth baseball.

You have to make the choice if you want a small school with baseball or a large state school. Two different environments. My daughter went to a smaller D2 school with a pretty strong baseball team. I don’t know how many players went on to professional level play, but maybe 1 or 2 every 5-10 years. Tim Wakefield did go to this school about 40 years ago? but I don’t remember any other names. I do know the student athletes have a great experience and academically are more likely to be an engineer than in IB, but my daughter’s boyfriend went on to get an MBA (from this school) and is very successful in the finance group of his employer.

YOU can make anything happen. Sure, it’s easier to get into IB from Williams or Yale, but other schools are successful in launching IB careers.
