That is not to deminish the value of other schools--such as UMD which by the way has a highly competitive entrance into engineering, journalism and business schools and really the university as a whole.

Most important is the right fit for the student athlete!!! Puzzling how someone on the recruiting thread is putting down the IVY's. I know boys playing lax at these Institutions and they worked their [lacrosse] off to get there and work equally hard to juggle lax and studies. Again look for right fit for your child and don't pit down others to make yourself feel better!!!
Why dont you tell us how being really smart and educated by really smart people makes you a good teacher?
