JHU = D3
Not the same answer for D1 schools.

JHU is D1 for lacrosse.

We were told the same for the Ivies (D1 schools).

So if I am understanding correctly, despite the test-optional policy, we should expect that the Ivy League schools reaching out to our student-athlete ("top" sport like football/basketball/lacrosse) will request ACT/SAT scores? Also, when should we expect Ivy League recruiting to end practically speaking? End of junior year? End of first semester senior year?

Thank you!

I love how uiy lumped lacrosse as a top sport

At many schools it is a top sport but (other than at JHU) not to the extent of football or hoops.

"Top sport" in what way? Maybe there would be a lot of interest in playing it at certain schools, but I don't see it as a top revenue generator.

Do a lot of these athletes continue to play their sport year after year once admitted? They're not getting a scholarship for it, and I'm assuming they can't be dismissed for choosing to quit. I wonder if some use it for a bump in admissions and then quit.

LACROSSE IS GOD at Hopkins. Hopkins Homecoming is centered around a Lacrosse game, not football. Homecoming weekend was the big lacrosse game. Football is not a big deal at hopkins---at all.

Football is d3 at Hopkins but it not true to say it isn’t a big deal. At one point in the last few years, Hopkins football had the longest winning streak of any collegiate football team.

That isn’t true. Hopkins D3 sports are pretty successful, often making it to the NCAA championship or playoffs, particularly football, baseball, track and swim. Maybe best to not offer opinions when you have no clue what you are talking about.

Lacrosse is a clown sport. Imagine if real athletes decided to play this lame game against these preppy white boys. They would thrash them

It is true that very few top American athletes play lacrosse at all let alone specialize in it. Basketball and football dominate the top athlete groups beyond the early youth levels where soccer is big. If you are fairly athletic and are looking for entry into good schools, lax isn't a terrible option to start your kids on (squash is even better with the lower numbers and level of athlete participating). Lax does have a few areas where the best athletes want to be in lax (Long Island being the most prominent one and part of MD too) but it is even less popular with top athletes outside the US.

I remember the basketball team mercy ruling the lax guys multiple times in IM softball.

Your kids must not be athletes. Nobody does all the years of work needed to get recruited to play at college level just so they can get into a good school and then quit. The few that quit probably got injured.

The Ivy League consistently has lacrosse teams ranked in top-10 nationally and I assume recruiting for those programs runs on earlier schedule similar to football and basketball.
