Real impressive bald bear , you must have Hofstra confused with some other school as their academic standing is not close to SB. I believe SB acceptance rate is in the 39% area with out of state being much more difficult.


US News has Stony Brook #88 and Hofstra #135.

Forbes has Stony Brook at #249. SAT Composite and ACT composite skewer a bit higher, but Stony Brook has a much larger pre-med curricula than Hofstra. Forbes does not grade Stony Brook.

All I'm saying is both schools, for the student looking to play lacrosse, are comparable. The original question posed was Stony Brook's lack of recruiting outside of LI and one key is the school does is not attractive to students outside of this area. The coach knows this and recruits based on his strength, which is local girls.

" Stony Brook doesn't have the academic status that many schools can offer a student athlete; in fact Hofstra might be in a
better position academically."

The above is why no one can take your posts seriously. When you say its a fact and are proven to be completely wrong you just act like you never said it.
