Best D3 schools to leverage lax talent?

[Anonymous]

What are the best D3 academic schools to use lax to get an extra push in when you’re a kid that’s on the fence for admissions?

Being a committed athlete will help almost everywhere in terms of taking your kid out of the lottery but at most D3s you still need to be a credible admit.

exactly. but don't underestimate how hard it is to be accepted at these schools, even as a recruited athlete. Being recruited will help if you are near the bottom of the qualified pool, but you need to be in the same ballpark of students who generally are admitted into that school.

wrong. they don't recruit. they are one of few varsity programs who just picks their team from among the student body.

Look at the last 5 years of the NCAA D3 tournament brackets. Compile a list of schools then go look at USNWR and pick the top schools academically. You will find NESCAC are the predominant schools.

They have a prospect days and they do recruit.

Also, be aware, you have to be a top quality player to be recruited at these schools. They aren't looking for good students who happen to be decent to marginal lax players. They're looking for great lax players who might be marginal students. That's where the true benefit lies.

MIT definitely recruits and can help with admissions. The school that technically "recruits" but has almost no pull in admissions is Caltech.

Salisbury for men and women. Far more economical than the all the privates (especially in-state) and you will compete for national championships every year.

Get good grades in college and grad schools and employers will notice.
