LOL, Fact is , most girls couldn’t get offers from Stanford! Congrats to anyone who does, Major accomplishment. Some girls do lacrosse, in hopes that doors get opened to great schools and great opportunities they may not get otherwise. Girls that are actually thinking about their futures, and not just about playing college lacrosse in driving distance to home. It’s not about the family getting to college lacrosse games.

Stanford acceptance rate 4.7%, BC acceptance rate 32.3%.

I already know of several top 2023 commits that crossed Stanford off because of distance. Great school, but too far for many when there are similar options much closer. As you see the top girls begin to commit, you will see that they pick others schools, such as the top YJ player who committed to BC today and could have gone anywhere she wanted, but didn't even visit. If it was just for school, that's very different than going to play on a D1 team where you want the support of your family.

Are you saying that BC is a similar option to Stanford? BC is closer Maryland, Syracuse, Florida, Penn State, Rutgers etc...than it is to Stanford academically. Very few similar options to Stanford and BC is not one of them. BC very good school with an excellent lacrosse program but certainly not the end all be all. Many options out there, help your daughter find the one that is best for he. BTW, any player who receives an offer from Stanford will have many alternatives if Stanford is not for her.

Good Luck to All.
