Typical block head lacrosse dads. Come on guys you are giving the rest of us a bad name. The best offers she got was for 20% and the schools were in the bottom half of D1. She chose D3 and was very happy.
Carry on bashing anyone that doesn't go to Maryland, UNC or an Ivy
That was a false equivalency right there. Lower D1 offers so choose D3 means had no chance to play at Maryland, UNC or Ivies. This young lady wasn't a good enough lax player to play at those schools obviously. No biggie. I'll bet LOTS of money if she could play at Princeton or Harvard, that post would have been very different.
I'll bet you'd lose that bet, you [lacrosse]. Finally got a realistic parent who encouraged his/her daughter to do the right thing for her (emphasis on "for her") and you assume she would have preferred an Ivy.
Missing the point Mr. DB. She didn't have the choice, because she wasn't a good enough player. So the line "Carry on bashing anyone that doesn't go to Maryland, UNC or an Ivy" was off-base and typical criticism of those whose kid can't cut it at that level of play. They encouraged their daughter to pick D3 over bottom of D1, a good choice very likely. Glad to hear it worked well for her. She would have preferred an Ivy, guaranteed, and mommy and daady wished she was good enough to play at one.
