I don't think any less of a kid or a parent who uses lacrosse to get into a school they would otherwise not get into. But rationally speaking, look at the 30 or so not so selective colleges out there for D1 lacrosse and consider what kind of student your son would be to need lacrosse to get him in. Several of them are colleges that accept 65%-85% of the applicant pool. That means if you are a qualified student and can pay, you're in. Getting all excited about being committed for lacrosse is just a lacrosse ambition. Then you have to go to school and be happy there too.
