What grades and golf scores would i need to play golf at Emory University or a division three school like it?
other schools include NYU, Carnegie Mellon, and other Division Three golf teams. Right now I have a GPA in between 3.7 and 3.8. I have not taken the ACT or SAT yet, but will soon. My handicap is around 8. I am a sophomore who has lettered in golf two years in a row as well as second team all district as a sophomore.
With a greater number of students applying for college than ever before, most schools are raising the standards for entrance so the SATs scores are significant. As for the golf, the same standard applies. With more students looking to play at the college level the better the competition and the lower the handicap to make the team. We had tryouts for the college golf team more years ago that I care to remember. Alternates were also chosen. We played most of the matches at match play. If one faltered badly, an alternate would take his place at the next competition. At the time I was a 3 handicap and played # 4 on a six man team. Never was bounced and enjoyed the experience immensely. Work hard on the academics as well as the short game and want to see you Numero uno on the team your senior year.
