You can't discount how socioeconomic status impacts "where kids end up." As long as you are in the elite lacrosse universe, where you go to high school (too often based on socioeconomic status) matters a lot.

Comparing clubs based on where players go lacks an understanding of how college admissions works. You could be a full pay kid with decent grades from a top academic school and admissions offices would be happy for you to pay the full freight and sit the bench. Congratulations! You "made" it!

For all the parents out there who can't pay full freight, find a top academic high school with a strong financial aid program. That's the path.
