Can I get accepted into Dartmouth with a baseball scholarship?

Question

I am a Junior in High School looking up schools to play collegiate baseball. I am deffinately an above average player, playing in Louisiana's strongest travel ball showcase team in the summer. Though I personally would not say that I am a "Division I player" but I know I can deffinately play and get scholarships to a DII or DIII school. Though I am only interested in playing at DI. I was looking into some of the Division I programs on the low and one I found and was interested in was Dartmouth college. I have a 4.0 weighted GPA and a 3.8 unweighted GPA. I take three IB (International Baccalaureate) classes and will continue to take them through out my senior year. The only thing I am worried about is my ACT score of 26. I don't know if that is enough to be accepted there even with an athletic scholarship. I also play football and soccer and have started in all three sports since my freshman year. Would I be able to play and receive a scholarship with a possibly higher ACT of maybe 30?

Answer 1

Most if not all of the Ivy League schools do not offer athletic scholarships even though they are division 1 schools. Also, division 3 schools do not offer athletic scholarships either. However, they do accept FAFSA and have made it easier for the middle class to attend with very little if not any student loan debt on graduation. You will need to now register for the NCAA database and contact any coach you are interested in playing for during your college years, and you pretty much need to do it now. I recommend taking the ACT again and studying for it before taking it. It will get better as school goes on. I will include some information below which should help you navigate through this maze. Good luck!
