That's crazy. Look at Schrieber and Chanenchuck getting into Princeton and im sure dozens of others going to IVys from St A's. No matter how good of a lax player you are, Princeton does not bend it's academic hurdle so much that they set these kids up for being academically ineligible to play. That wouldnt be helpful to ether the coach or the kid.


Why would you answer them. They don't have a kid(s) that go there (I do) why bother entertaining somebody as totally clueless as there are. All my kids are fortunate enough where as I can send them to Catholic school and we constantly run into the public schoolers who feel compelled to knock down private school. You all know the type.. One piece of bad press comes out about a school, they feel compelled to forward it or post it on some social media site - as to see SEE! Drop it, it is exhausting.
