Top end D3 significantly may be better fit than D2 and bottom half D1 depending on the player.
Completely disagree. Unless your son is going to a NESCAC. And yes, low D1 can be tough, but high D2 is serious lacrosse. Go watch the Adelphi v Bentley game today.
Academics are average to below average at most D-2 schools
Agreed. And there are a ton of great academic D3's in addition to the NESCAC schools - Swarthmore, Babson, MIT, Washington & Lee, etc.
That is not your average comparison. That is a 1500 Sat and 99 average minimum.
Agree. With everything said. High end D2 has some very good lax. Agree that the schools are not academic powerhouses. For the average student who is very good at lax. It is a good option. Also some of those D2 schools offer a ton of money
It’s not for everyone. As is with high end D3.( that is for the really good lax player who excels in the classroom)
Every kid travels a different path. Guide yours to their best option.
