So what are the top “dream schools”? I’m thinking (in no particular order)
BC Princeton Penn Yale Stanford Duke Northwestern UNC
Second tier:
Virginia Michigan Penn State Hopkins Florida USC Maryland Hopkins Harvard Brown
A confusing list between tier 1 and 2. Is it based on academics/lacrosse? BC doesn’t stack up academically to some of the schools in tier 2.
True about BC, but they're the best Lax school in the country right now, and look to be for a while. They are also on par academically with UNC. Notre Dame should be first tier too. I agree with MD, PSU and Florida as second tier because of the academics. Cuse should be second tier as well. And Virginia and Michigan could be higher if they could improve their lax a bit. Same for Harvard, Brown and Hopkins. Stony Brook could be a second or maybe third tier. Wonder how girls will form their top ten. If your daughter has good grades, and is a strong player, what would be her top 10 in order if money was not a factor?
National rankings of Universities #9 Hopkins #24 UVA #28 UNC #30 Florida #37 BC
BC is tops in lax but academically not as strong as a couple of the other schools.
