Current PLL great Zed Williams and also a UVA grad has talked openly about how he didnt have the grades to get into UVA without lax. The former UVA coach Dom Starsia noted that Zed had a weak academic background and would have to work extra hard to survive at UVA. To Zed's credit he spent the extra time in the classroom even though he had less time to devote to lax. If you are a great player the best schools will help you.
