Once you get in, you're in, so it makes sense to focus on academics, not dead end lacrosse.


bingo! get in, quit and focus on internships


I you are not a top 1 percenter, go for low D1, D2 or D3 very different there and not the 5-6 hours a day that top schools practice. Or go to a monster school and play club lax. At those schools the club team will beat most bottom D1 teams it is super competitive but only travel on the weekends
