Recruited Athlete - Should I Consider Johns Hopkins?

I am a high school senior in the class of 2025, and Johns Hopkins University has been considering giving me an offer for baseball. However, I would need to jump through a couple more hoops for them to do so. 

Since I am looking to get into Investment Banking in the future, I wonder if it would make sense to continue a conversation with Johns Hopkins since there seems to be a lot of mixed feelings about the track into IB from the school.

Thanks.

I think if you’re willing to put in the work you’ll be able to get an offer from any of those schools and once you’re in banking all that matters is that you went to a “good” school when it comes to PE recruiting (all of these three are good schools).

I would pick the school where you feel like you will be personally happiest at and most academically successful.
