If your kid is going to be able to use Lacrosse himself into a school that academically wouldn't even look at them, these are the best lacrosse schools ranked solely on acceptance rate:
1 Harvard University
2 Princeton University
3 Yale University
4 Brown University
5 Massachusetts Institute of Technology
6 Dartmouth College
7 Duke University
8 United States Naval Academy
9 University of Pennsylvania
10 Bowdoin College
11 Swarthmore College
12 Colby College
13 Johns Hopkins University
14 United States Military Academy
15 Amherst College
16 Cornell University
17 United States Air Force Academy
18 Bates College
19 Williams College
20 Colorado College
21 Georgetown University
22 Limestone University
23 Middlebury College
24 Tufts University
25 United States Merchant Marine Academy
26 Hamilton College
27 Haverford College
28 University of Notre Dame
29 Wesleyan University
30 Boston University
31 Washington and Lee University
32 United States Coast Guard Academy
all other schools accept more than 20% of applicants.


I like how you slipped Limestone (44% acceptance rate, not even listed in my kid's "Best 381 Colleges" book) into your list and that you had the stones to list it ahead of Middlebury, Tufts, Notre Dame, etc... Looks like in your rankings good old Limestone got edged out by Georgetown this time around, maybe next year....
