My son is a junior on 9/1 eleven schools reached out. Not DUKE, ND, Virginia etc. However hey were all D-1 schools and he has a 89 average and hasn't taken the SAT yet so far not one school has said he wont get in academically. Bottom line he is an average student and that is fine and Lax is going to get him into one of those schools FACT. Without Lax he wouldn't be considered.
2020 and 2021 recruiting classes: Ivy League schools wanted SAT scores in the 1400 range for recruited lax players with some exceptions
2022 and ?2023 recruiting classes: SAT/ACT scores were no longer required by the Ivy League for recruited lax players
Around and around we go…. Please stop trying to point out individual situation as if they are the norm.
Every recruit is different and every school is different and every situation is different.
To say Ivy League schools were looking for an SAT score in the 1400 range is not accurate at all. Recruiting is specific to the player and the school.
It is very simple, athletes get preferential treatment with admissions. However, not all athletes are equal, some will get more help than others. Just because a coach tells one recruit that they need certain grades or test scores does not mean every other recruit needs the same.
All of the stories are nice to hear but in the end every situation is different.
If you are going through this process for the first time or will be going through it in the future do not listen to much of the nonsense on here. Let the coaches who are interested in your son tell him/you what credentials your son will need.
