Well that’s a great response on the girls HS forum, now do the men. Let’s stay consistent here.
Maybe, it's because men's only lax recruiting data isn't publicly available. Why don't you provide your own data? Have you ever heard of the mathematical concept called interpolation?
No, the point is, male lacrosse players do not get a tremendous boost as is repeatedly implied here. They get a minimal “boost. That’s the painful truth for far too many lacrosse parents who thinks juniors C+ average an 1090 SAT are getting him into Duke or ND. It’s not.
Nobody thinks their kid is getting into any top tier academic school with a c+ average.[/quote]
That didn’t age well now did it?[/quote]
There are huge advantages in the admission process for lacrosse players. My sons friend, and not someone that people would consider a great player, was able to get into Stony Brook with a 2.4 GPA. Stony Brook requires a 3.8 on average for non-athletes. Of course Stony Brook is not the greatest school and has a tough time finding people who want to go there but this illustrates the type of boost you can get in admissions with lacrosse for someone who is not even a great player. Also, the kid is doing very well academically at Stony Brook.
